You maybe thinking of energy-absorbing seats which need to stroke a bit. While my info is dated, none the medical interiors I installed had E-A seats in the back which allowed stuff to be stored under them like the factory bench seat. The newer B3s came with E-A seats upfront which precluded no storage under them. And I believe the EC130s now offer pax E-A seats in the back but havent seen any of their use in EMS as of yet. But that dont mean they're not out there just not in the pics above.
