Leipzig German Red Cross emergency doctor car 41-82-1 responding. This vehicle is a 2021 Volkswagen T6.1/ WAS which went into service in October 2021. More details below 🔽

This is what their previous vehicle looked like:    • Leipzig DRK NEF RW Uniklinik [14.8.2015]  
And before that they used this Mercedes Vito:    • NEF DRK Leipzig RW Diakonissenkrankenhaus ...  

This newer doctor car features another different and really interesting looking graphics package with yellow and orange stripes as well as ghost graphic elements on the sides. Those first graphics are actually better visible in this video than they were in reality. My camera easily picks up reflective graphics and shows them quite bright in the video, even when they're not yet or just slightly visible to the human eye.

Ghost graphics have their rig roots in American law enforcement. There were two primary reasons why agencies started using them:
1) staying almost completely unmarked while being noticeable as a police vehicle at the very last moment when the cruiser is literally next to someone.
2) some state laws prohibit traffic stops with unmarked vehicles. A cruiser with ghost graphics isn’t unmarked so agencies have the option to stay pretty much unmarked while operating a marked vehicle.



Leipzig, Sachsen (Saxony), Germany, November 2021.
