Mahindra has launched the Bolero Neo + Ambulance in India. Built to fully comply with AIS:125 (Part 1) norms that govern the Type B Ambulance segment, the Neo + stands out for its superior OEM-level of build quality coupled with a versatility that will appeal to buyers in big cities, smaller towns and upcountry locations. The Neo+ shares the same tough underpinnings of the Bolero Neo, launched in 2021, but with a longer wheelbase for a more spacious cabin and a more powerful 2.2L mHawk engine to suit the requirements of ambulance owners and operators across different markets. The Bolero Neo+ Ambulance is priced at ESR Rs. 13.99 Lakh, with a Government e-Marketplace (GeM) pricing of Rs. 12.31 Lakh.
The Bolero Neo+ Ambulance is underpinned
by the robust Neo platform and its Gen-3 chassis that features a high-strength
steel body shell. The Neo+ Ambulance comes with the more powerful 2.2-litre
mHawk engine paired with a 6-speed gearbox in a rear-wheel-drive configuration.
This setup delivers a power output of 120 HP and peak torque of 280 Nm,
assuring rapid response times in emergencies.
While it comes with a longer wheelbase
than its parent platform, the Neo+ Ambulance is still compact and drivable
enough to ensure easy navigation in city traffic, while its body-on-frame
construction and high ground clearance make it suitable for upcountry terrains.
By combining strength, speed and space the Bolero Neo+ Ambulance exceeds the
capabilities of smaller van-based offerings and offers better practicality and
efficiency than larger coach-based ambulances.
The Bolero Neo+ Ambulance is built to
fully comply with AIS:125 (Part 1) norms that govern the Type B Ambulance
segment. Mahindra has equipped it with a host of practical features aimed at
improving patient care and transport efficiency. This includes a single-person
operable stretcher mechanism, provision for an oxygen cylinder, a washbasin
assembly that facilitates hygiene and a public address system ensures clear
communication during emergencies. Further enhancing its functionality, the
Bolero Neo+ Ambulance includes a D+4 seating capacity within its
air-conditioned cabin.
With the Bolero Neo+ Ambulance, Mahindra
reaffirms its commitment to providing affordable, reliable solutions to meet
the diverse needs of the healthcare sector.
