Answer

Do ambulance drivers in Mallorca have to get a C1 licence for heavier vehicles?

Not automatically. Drivers are usually bound by the vehicle class and duties set out in their contracts, so they are not always required to take on a higher licence class without agreement. That is one of the reasons the current dispute has become a labour issue as well as an operational one.
