The First-Responder has been equipped with a full stretcher with a foldable hood mounted on the side, essential medical equipment such as a detachable first-aid kit, oxygen cylinder, fire extinguisher and other safety features such as LED Flasher Lights, foldable beacon light, emergency wireless public announcement system and siren.
The two First-Responders vehicles from Hero MotoCorp were handed over to Manjeet Dharampal Choudhary, Member of the State Legislative Assembly of Rajasthan, from Alwar as part of the company’s ongoing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives towards the COVID-19 relief efforts.
They have been designed and developed through a collaborative initiative by the engineers at Hero’s Centre of Innovation and Technology (CIT) in Jaipur and the New Model Centre (NMC) at the company’s manufacturing facility in Gurgaon.
Hero MotoCorp is in the process of manufacturing several more of these First-Responders, which will be handed over to local health authorities in other parts of the country.
