Answer

Why are some ambulance crews in Mallorca worried about the new vehicles?

The main concern is that some of the new vehicles are heavier than the ones they replace. That means certain ambulances may require a C1 driving licence, and not all drivers currently have one. Crews are also concerned about whether staffing and training will be ready in time for the changeover.
