The outbreak of the pandemic has increased the need for emergency care vehicles like ambulances, capable of offering immediate healthcare support. Realizing the need, Jharkhand-based, Bharat Engineering and Body Building Co. (BEBBCO), known for its fabrication work for buses, load bodies, and tippers for medium and heavy commercial vehicles, prepared a coronavirus testing van along with a slew of emergency vans that are in high demand. Speaking exclusively to MOTOR INDIA, Navin Bhalotia, Director, BEBBCO, says: “We have been making ambulances but this vehicle was special as it was made in just 12 days, right from design to procurement of material and machining.”
“It is made on a Tata 709 chassis and is currently deployed with the city of Raipur, Chattisgarh, and is one amongst our best creations so far. We have deployed all the required facilities for swab testing and sterilization to facilitate the working of a laboratory. We also can provide features like an auto-loading stretcher, oxygen system with cylinder, medicine cabinet, medical kit box, fire extinguisher, and jump seat for the attendant along with anything extra required in an emergency vehicle. Our optimum ergonomics design makes sure that the transport is comfortable and safe for the patients as well as for the paramedics to test and support patients,” he adds.
