Can you convert an Eeco into an ambulance as a DIY job or should it be left to professionals?

You're all forgetting about regulations. Ambulances have strict rules in most places as to what constitutes one. If you don’t have the proper qualifications, a DIY job may not meet these standards and get you into legal trouble.

I have seen some pretty impressive DIY conversions. It’s possible with the right research and attention to detail. You have to be honest about what you can do and what the vehicle can do.

Why not a middle ground? Do your basic conversion yourself and have a pro check it over and add the specialized equipment. Would save money and ensure safety.

I'd be a bit leery as a paramedic about going into a DIY ambulance. It’s not just space for a patient. It’s important to ensure that you can easily access supplies, equipment is properly secured and that there are safety features available.
How is the Eeco Ambulance different from jugaad ambulances such as bike ambulances or auto-rickshaw ambulances?

I understand the attraction of bike ambulances in traffic but the Eeco is just more practical. It's safer in case of an accident, you can carry more equipment and you can actually even fit a patient lying down.

You don’t get the point of jugaad ambulances. They aren't supposed to replace vans, but to get to places vans cannot. A bike ambulance might mean life or death in narrow alleyways or remote villages.

I’ve worked with both and I’d say they each have their place. While bike ambulances are great in congested regions for quick response, the Eeco is great for longer transports and more serious cases.

Neither is ideal, let's be real. Wherever we find ourselves, we should be pushing for proper, fully equipped ambulances. The Eeco is just one of these jugaad solutions, these are just band-aids on a broken system.

The Eeco, I think, is a good balance. It is cheaper and more agile than a bike or auto, yet more capable than either. This is a realistic solution for our current situation.
How is the Eeco Ambulance different from jugaad ambulances such as bike ambulances or auto-rickshaw ambulances?

Why not combine the ideas? Initial response and stabilization is done through bike ambulances and then they are transferred to an Eeco to take them to the hospital. Best of both worlds.

I would feel a hundred times more confident working in an Eeco as an EMT than on a bike. In emergencies, there’s space to actually treat patients en route.
Is the Maruti Eeco Ambulance good enough for emergency medical services?
24 January 2025 08:17
I’ve been in the medical field for years, and I can tell you the Eeco Ambulance is a godsend to rural areas. It's not fancy, but it works. This thing goes places where roads are barely roads and gets to patients when nothing else can.
Is the Maruti Eeco Ambulance good enough for emergency medical services?
24 January 2025 08:17
Are you kidding me? It is basically a tin can on wheels. With something that has barely proper suspension, how can we ever expect to save lives? We do not need glorified vans, we need proper ambulances with advanced life support systems.

I think both of you are missing the point. This Eeco Ambulance fills a very crucial gap in our healthcare system. It’s affordable, easy to maintain, and can be deployed very quickly. It's more than enough for basic patient transport and first aid.

I’ve actually driven one of these, and they’re surprisingly capable. It has AC that works, it can hold a stretcher and basic equipment, and it is nimble in traffic. It is not perfect, but it is far from useless.

In an ideal world, we’d have high tech ambulances all over the place, let’s be real. This is India, though, and the Eeco Ambulance is a practical solution. Many areas are better off with these than with nothing.

I have seen these things save lives in my village. You don't care about fancy features when you are having a heart attack. All you want is to rush to the hospital and the Eeco does that job well.

I know that Eeco is a very reliable car as a mechanic. They are easy to fix, and these things are built tough. In emergency services, that's crucial. You can't have ambulances breaking down at all times.
Could the New Bolero be a cult classic like the Maruti Gypsy?

The Gypsy was special, no way. The Bolero is just... there. There is no X factor to it to make people passionate about it...

Absolutely! In rural India the Bolero is already a legend. Eventually, urban enthusiasts will also come to understand its no nonsense charm.
