India's largest two-wheeler maker, Hero MotoCorp has resolved to donate 60 first-responder mobile ambulances to the authorities across the nation to bolster the national effort against COVID-19 spread, reports The Economic Times.
The custom-built mobile ambulances will act as an accessory attached to the motorcycles built by the company. These will boast of engine capacity of 150cc or more and will help in reaching out to the patients in rural and remote parts of the nation and aid their movement to the nearest hospital facilities.
These mobile ambulances will boast of a slew of features including sleeping arrangement and medical equipment like a first-aid kit, oxygen cylinder, fire extinguisher and siren.
