The health sector once again places its trust in Irizar

April 2022

The Syddanmark Region in Denmark has purchased an integral 14m Irizar i8 bus designed specifically for blood donation in different Danish towns.

Flexibility, high customisation and adaptability to meet the requirements of our customers have enabled us to design the Blodbussen blood bus, which will be stationed at the Odense public hospital in the evenings and will visit different locations in the south of Denmark during the day to promote and facilitate blood donation in this area.

The vehicle is divided into different areas: waiting area and place to be interviewed by the doctor, donation area, kitchen area and private area for medical staff. The rear part of the vehicle has four seats for the medical team, as well as a lift for easy access to the vehicle. Top quality blood donor chairs with electrically adjustable positioning have been installed for the comfort and convenience of donors, as well as all the equipment needed for donating blood. Four hydraulic legs have also been installed to stabilise the bus, thereby ensuring optimal working conditions for the medical team.

For daily use, the bus will be connected to the hospital electricity network or the municipal grid, and, for added safety, the vehicle is equipped with a generator for use in the event of a power failure or faulty connection, allowing the medical staff to continue working as normal.

Furthermore, with three operating modes, the vehicle perfectly adapts to the needs of each moment:

– Donation mode: the vehicle is connected to the electrical grid and all systems are available. In the event of a problem, the generator starts operating.

– Driving mode: the vehicle uses its normal standard system.

– Night mode: the vehicle is connected to the electrical grid, but this time with limited functions.

With the delivery of this Irizar i8 blood bus, Denmark joins the demand for this type of vehicle to be used in the health sector. In Sweden, for example, two ambulance vehicles equipped with all kinds of medical facilities are already in operation to transport patients to hospital.
