Emergency Vehicles for Daz3D??

I find it rather interesting that we now have the amazing "First Responders" set of figures/clothing... and yet there are basically NO modern Emergency Responce Vehicles for them... Except the M truck based Fire Truck and the three police vehicles. No ambulances, Nothing with the Red Cross logo, no Blood Drive vans. Even with the awesome 1st Bastion Emergency Room Driveway set, there is no vehicles to USE it with.
In fact, I feel rather saddened that there is a serious lack of ANY decent vehicles for Daz3D... If I wanna switch to Poser, Vue, 3DMax, etc... Well geez, there's a ton of stuff for them, but for those of us that choose to use Daz for whatever reason? Nearly NOTHING. *sighs with disgust*

Most Poser-format vehicles will work as models, and the Iray samples include a bunch of car-paint shaders that can be used to replace the default materials - though I would have thought there are quite a few vehicles in general, even if they are not emergency service vehicles.
Kit bashing is required .. the red cross can be tinkered on a vehicle relatively easily.
However, there is 1stBastion's "Oncoming Traffic: Lo-Poly SUV" and Darkmatters "Rotor Heads Gdds76 Helicopter" as well as Ansiko's wonderful "Classic Van and Props" but I admit that these products can only be used for very specific projects..
But the phenomenon is very often the same on this platform - a vicious circle: Because the demand is insufficient, no complementary products are launched and because there are no complementary products, the demand remains insufficient .... Another solid proof that it is nothing more but an urban legend that a market regulates itself ....
this works perfectly well in DAZ studio and it's free

PoseRay can convert the above lwo into obj which can be used in Daz.

Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions... I've looked at a couple of them, Hopefully some of them might work for me.
Although I'm STILL seriously concerned about the lack of NATIVE Daz3d IRay vehicles. And I don't mean just things like "Supercars", I mean everyday vehicles... Especially when I look at the absolute FEAST available for Vue, 3Max, and a few other packages... *more sighs*
These LowPoly suvs can atleast help fill the background of an image if needed
It should be at DAZ ... with IM !
DIM just was injured apparently, so yeah, DAZ Central might need a hearse
