Volkswagen becomes Krankenwagen
Krankenwagen literally means Sick Wagen, and is the name used for a non-emergency ambulance in Germany. Note this vehicle doesn't have any emergency lights. The box on the roof (which is covered with a tarp) probably is intended for transporting a wheelchair or luggage bags, as there would be no space inside for those items! The foot end of the stretcher probably would have extended under the dashboard and into the front trunk space.
