In yet another contribution towards the
COVID-19 relief efforts, Hero MotoCorp has revealed its Hero Xtreme ambulance.
It is a first-responder mobile ambulance which will be useful for reaching out
to patients in rural and remote areas and taking them to the nearest hospital.
The unique and utilitarian Hero Xtreme
ambulance has been custom-built by the company. The sidecar of the mobile
ambulance is a bed for the patient. There is essential medical equipment on
board such as a first-aid kit and an oxygen cylinder. Hero MotoCorp has also
added a single pannier, fire extinguisher, siren and LED warning lights.
Hero MotoCorp will be donating 60 such
first-responder mobile ambulances to authorities in multiple regions across
India. The company has also said that the Hero Xtreme has been converted into a
mobile ambulance using a custom-built accessory kit which can be fitted on
other Hero MotoCorp motorcycles that have an engine capacity of 150 cc and
above.
Apart from the first-responder mobile
ambulances, the Hero Group has committed a corpus of INR 100 crore as an aid
for the ongoing COVID-19 relief-efforts in India. The BML Munjal University,
run by the Hero Group at Dharuhera in Haryana, has offered its 2,000-bed hostel
for use as an isolation and treatment ward by the local health department. Hero
MotoCorp is also distributing more than 15,000 meals to daily wage-workers,
stranded labourers and homeless families in several areas of Delhi-NCR,
Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat every day.
