The International Greentech and Eco Product Exhibition and Conference Malaysia (IGEM), held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, showcased a variety of electric vehicles for commercial use.
Among them is the CAM EC35 electric van, which is available in three versions: panel van, semi-panel van, and window van. The displayed unit is a window van that has been modified into an ambulance.
All three versions share the same dimensions, measuring 4,500 mm in length, 1,680 mm in width, and 1,985 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,050 mm. The gross weight is 2,600 kg, while the payload capacity ranges from 1,025 to 1,090 kg.
The panel van accommodates two seats, the semi-panel van has five seats, while the window van features a configuration for six or eight seats.
The EC35 is powered by a single electric motor located on the rear axle, generating 80 hp (60 kW) and 200 Nm of torque. Energy is supplied by a 38.7 kWh battery, which allows for a range of 268 km based on the WLTP cycle.
Standard AC charging takes approximately five hours to recharge the battery from 20% to 80%, while DC fast charging requires 80 minutes to charge from 20% to 80% or 2.5 hours for a full charge.
Additional features of the EC35 include power windows, ABS, EBD, reverse sensors, and a reverse camera with the feed displayed on an eight-inch screen.
Needless to say, several modifications must be made to convert it into an ambulance.
These include installing a LED light bar, siren, loudspeakers, PA system, and eight units of LED warning lights (two on the front grille, four on the side of the roof, and two on the rear of the roof). All rear windows are tinted with a VLT of 95%.
Inside, the vehicle features an 18 mm thick waterproof plywood floor, aluminum cabinets, and an oxygen pipeline along with related components. It is also equipped with a fire extinguisher, AC inverter, three-pin socket, USB ports, LED ceiling lights, and two stretchers.
The EC35 is priced starting at RM135,000 for the panel van, RM138,500 for the semi-panel van, and RM145,000 for the eight-seat window van.
The ambulance version will set buyers back RM199,000. It comes with a warranty of five years or 120,000 km for the vehicle, and a one-year warranty for the installation.
