Medibus wins German Mobility Award 2019

The mobile medical practice is an innovative project of Deutsche Bahn, built by VDL Bus & Coach. The prize was awarded to initiator Deutsche Bahn yesterday evening, 27 November, by the German Minister of Transport and Digital Infrastructure.

The Medibus was built by VDL Bus Venlo in cooperation with VDL Bus Heerenveen and VDL Bus Chassis. The interior of the Citea LLE-127 was designed entirely according to the wishes of the customer, Deutsche Bahn. The 12.7 metre variant is the longest version of this type.

With its mobile medical practice, Deutsche Bahn is responding to the challenges of an ageing society and a lack of doctors in training. Through this initiative they have found an innovative way to improve access to the medical infrastructure. Particularly elderly people living outside urban areas are having difficulty finding their way to the nearest doctor.

The bus is fully configured as a GP practice and has four rooms complete with cabinets and furniture. The consultation room, treatment room, waiting room and laboratory are all equipped with air conditioning. Thanks to the IT infrastructure from technology company Cisco, telemedicine is available in the Medibus. If desired, the attending physician can consult a specialist by videoconference. A large awning has been fitted to the side of the bus to provide an additional waiting area on location if necessary.
