Horton Emergency Vehicles was one of the true pioneers among van ambulance builders of the late 1960's. As the industry evolved, the company lead the development of the initial "Heartmobile" units that were later to become paramedic ambulances.

The first inhalation areas featuring plumbed oxygen and suction systems were developed by Horton. Other Horton innovations include the all-aluminum welded body, modular cabinetry, electronically-controlled oxygen systems, electronic throttle controls, solid state electronics, vehicle diagnostics and electrical load management.
In order to ensure the highest product integrity, the development of innovative products has always been combined with extensive product testing programs. Units are subjected to all required testing and procedures as outlined in Federal Ambulance Specifications and Ford Quality Vehicle Modifier guidelines. In addition, Horton ambulances have undergone rigorous Hyge sled crash testing to ensure equipment stability and the reliability of mounting systems and cabinet attachments.
