Revenue model

1. Specialty Vehicle Manufacturing and Conversion: Design, manufacturing, and conversion of specialty vehicles including sanitary vehicles (ambulances), emergency vehicles, and special purpose vehicles. Revenue is generated through one-time vehicle sales and conversions, with potential for repeat business as customers replace or upgrade fleets.
2. Transfer Cell Technology Licensing and Transfer Services: The transferable cell concept allows customers to transfer existing cells to new chassis, providing ongoing service revenue and maintaining customer relationships. This includes warranty renewals upon transfer.
3. After-Sales Service (AMDT): Maintenance, repair, and warranty services for vehicles through dedicated S.A.V (after-sales service) department with service hours Monday-Friday 8am-12pm and 1pm-5pm.
4. Used Vehicle Sales: Sale of refurbished and used specialty vehicles including ambulance occasions.

Core offering

TIB designs, manufactures and converts specialty vehicles — primarily ambulances (VSAV), mobile intensive care units (UMH), and road patrol vehicles (DIR) — built around a patented transferable sanitary cell that can be detached from one chassis and installed on another, extending product life and reducing fleet replacement costs. The company also offers complementary add-on systems (ANTISMOG emission control, battery and charge management) and after-sales maintenance services to public-sector emergency, healthcare, and road-safety buyers in France.

Product overview

TOLERIE INDUSTRIELLE DE BREZOLLES (TIB) is a French vehicle body manufacturer and converter specializing in emergency and medical transport vehicles. The company operates a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on transferable sanitary cells (cellules sanitaires transférables) — patented technology allowing cells to be moved between vehicle chassis — combined with specialized vehicle categories (VSAV ambulances, UMH units, DIR patrol vehicles) and add-on systems (ANTISMOG emission control, I.B.S battery management, I.C.C charge control, SPIRE energy preservation). TIB also produces eco-designed sandwich panels in-house and operates a related sub-brand Paréau for flood protection barriers. The company serves fire services (SDIS), hospitals, private ambulance operators, and government road authorities through a network of internal divisions including AMDT for after-sales service.
