"We believe smaller, faster, ultra-efficient electric vehicles are the future of emergency medical services, and we thank the Wall Street Journal for the opportunity to introduce our Rapid Responder to the leaders of tomorrow,�?? said Arcimoto Founder and President Mark Frohnmayer. “In congested cities around the world, ambulances and police are in a constant struggle to cut through traffic to arrive at emergency scenes as quickly as possible, and those precious minutes are all too often the difference between life and death. The Rapid Responder’s extraordinary efficiency will also help fleets meet their long term emissions goals, and reduce the maintenance and operations costs associated with more expensive, polluting, diesel-powered vans and trucks.�??
