Is there a difference of RRV, Co-Responder Vehicle, and Medical cycle responder?

RRVs can treat patients to a higher level, with some being dealt with at scene, and some being made ready or nearly ready for transport in an ambulance.
Co-Responders are firefighters who go to medical emergencies in a car with some basic life support equipment such as a first aid kit & defibrillator. They are not paramedics and do not treat patients to as high a standard as RRVs, either in real life or in the game. This also applies to community first responders (CFRs) which can be bought in home response locations. These are volunteers from the public who have been trained to provide first aid to patients before an ambulance crew arrives on scene.
Medical Cycle Responders in real life have the benefit of being able to navigate crowded large pedestrian areas, airports & large events etc much faster than a larger vehicle. They work similarly to RRVs but I cannot say whether they treat to the same standard.
Alctw10 may be able to confirm that & offer any further information I may have missed, as he is one of the ambulance content advisors for the game. -
I can state that NWAS have got cycle paramedics that operate as RRVs in Manc City Centre, operate to a paramedic scale.
