Easy Car News It is reported that Ford Motor Company and its joint venture in China have announced that they will donate medical materials worth 8 million yuan, including negative pressure ambulances and virus sampling tubes, which are in short supply at present.
In the early days after the outbreak of the epidemic, negative pressure ambulances became one of the materials in short supply. As the largest manufacturer of domestic ambulance industry and a participant in the formulation of national ambulance industry standards, Jiangling Ford's negative-pressure ambulance is based on the new generation Transit long-axle mid-top model of Ford introduced by Jiangling Ford. According to the characteristics of epidemic prevention and rescue and isolation requirements, it is divided into medical negative pressure cabin, disinfection cabin and observation cabin. The whole vehicle adopts the domestic leading medical vehicle modification technology, including ambulance system, warning system, electrical system, negative pressure system, etc., which can be used for pre-hospital rescue, transportation and monitoring of infectious patients.
Recently, orders for Jiangling Ford ambulances have risen sharply. Up to now, jiangling motors has received orders for more than 3, ambulances. In addition, on February 3rd, 1 Ford Transit-modified negative pressure monitoring ambulances donated by jiangling motors with a value of 5 million yuan have entered the front line of Wuhan war and epidemic.
