Force Motors announces that it has developed in house capability to manufacture and supply a full range of ambulances that are ready to use from day one and also comply with all the provisions of the recently introduced National Ambulance Code.

The Advanced Life Support ambulances have inbuilt provisions to mount life-saving equipment like a defibrillator, transport ventilator, BP Apparatus, scoop stretcher, spine board, etc., required to treat critically ill patients while on the move.

In addition, Force Motors also has the capability to supply mobile medical units that can function as primary health centers in remote locations providing consultation and treatment.

In order to fight this pandemic, the state governments and local administration are planning to have a mix of all types of ambulances so that they can be deployed as the situation warrants. 

Force Motors supplied to the Govt of Andhra Pradesh over one thousand ambulances including 130 advanced life support ambulances, 282 basic life support ambulances, and over 656 mobile medical units that will significantly upgrade the healthcare infrastructure, improve reach and reduce response time.

Speaking on the occasion, Prasan Firodia, Managing Director, Force Motors said, “The ongoing pandemic has suddenly highlighted the inadequacies in our healthcare system. It is very heartening to see that local administrations and state governments are responding quickly by upgrading their public health delivery systems. We are very happy that the Govt. of AP reposed their trust in the proven and reliable range of Force Traveller Ambulances and look forward to support such initiatives in other states”.
