 Ambulance 

An ambulance is a vehicle designated for the transport of sick or injured persons. The first ambulances called by that name were horse ambulances used in the American Civil War. Modern-day ambulances are typically large automobiles on van or light truck chassis.

However, an ambulance can be any vehicle including a bus, helicopter or even a hospital ship.

Under the laws of war an ambulance marked by a Red Cross isn't to be fired on and is to be permitted to carry out its duties in spite of the fighting. An ambulance may not mount weapons.
