I was just wondering after following this thread for a long time, does the local automaker provide the security vehicles for marginally less price or even free?
I mean Germans have BMW police cars, Italians: Alfa Romeo and Ducati, etc etc.
Or does the government just want to support local economy and hence buys those cars and bikes?

I can only speak for Germany: Yes, the Carmakers are offering discounts for several Organisations. Most of the german Policecars are leased for 2-3 years and the rates are very, very low. EMS cars are mostly bought, but also with big discounts.

And now let`s start with some german cars:

NEF (Notarzteinsatzfahrzeuge = Emergency Physician Units):

Audi A6 2.7 TDI Allroad Quattro



Volkswagen T5


BMW X3 3.0d


Porsche Cayenne




KTW (Krankentransportwagen = Transportation Ambulance, normally not used for Emergency Cases):

Volkswagen Crafter


Water Rescue:

Volkswagen Crafter


RTW (Rettungstransportwagen = Emergency Ambulance)

Mercedes Sprinter 315 CDI








Fire Cars:

Audi A6 2.7 TDI Allroad Quattro


Mercedes Sprinter


Mercedes Atego



Mercedes Econic


Policecars:

Mercedes C 220 CDI


BMW 525d


Mercedes Vito 115 CDI


Mercedes Sprinter 211 CDI


Technisches Hilfswerk (Technical Assistance)

Ford Transit



Mercedes Sprinter

Do the German ambulances have mostly the same design throughout Germany, or are there many separate ambulance services with their own designs?

[thun]

Depending. For public rescue organizations (such as the Red Cross) the state gives more or less strict design rules (because they are part of the respective civil protection systems ("Katastrophenschutz")). These designs are nowadays almost the same in the whole country (rescue: white cars with bright red stripes. e.g. Bavaria used a light ivory brown (like taxis)). Private companies are more free in their designs.
Anyhow, I don't know about these yellow cars, where are they from?

It depends on the state. Some german states like Schleswig-Holstein, Bavaria and Nordrhein-Westfalen have more or less a corporate Design, the other states and cities use a different Design, which is not standardized by Organisation. You can have thousands of Cars of one Organisation, but all of them can be painted in different Designs and Colours.

Here can you find a video of the new Porsche Cayenne Emergency Physician Units, operated by Stuttgart Fire Department:



The last time I forgot german EMS-Helicopters:

BO 105, operated by German Air Rescue (now out of order, because of new EU-noise regulations):


EC 135, operated by german Automobile Club (ADAC):


Bell 412 Intensive Care Helicopter, operated by HDM-Air Rescue:


Now we come to other countries:

Romania has bought a new fleet of more than 1.000 Emergency Ambulances during 2007 and 2008, which are state of the art in Technology and Design:




The City of Achgabad, Türkmenistan, has also received new Sprinter Ambulances:
