MG Motor India To Provide 100 MG Hector Ambulances For COVID-19 Patients on Request of Union Minister - Details

The second wave of the coronavirus pandemic this year turned out to be far more deadly than its first wave and it has created great havoc in India. Most of the regional governments have implemented complete lockdown in their states. In these tough times, everyone is trying to contribute something and become a helping hand for the needy. Like others, the automakers are also becoming a lending hand of the government and MG Motor India has now taken a significant step in this direction. The company will provide 100 MG Hector Ambulance with life-saving systems for COVID-19 patients in India.

Along with its great vehicles, MG Motor India is even known for its social and charitable works in the country. Last year, during the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic, the company announced a number of initiatives to assist in COVID-19 nationwide relief efforts. The automaker even donated a dedicated Hector ambulance last year for Sars-CoV-2 virus patients to the Gujarat state government to succour at the regional level. Early this year, the company donated five MG Hector ambulance to a hospital in Nagpur, Maharashtra. Now, recently the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways - Nitin Gadkari requested MG Motor India to deploy 100 Hector ambulances equipped with life-saving systems for Nagpur and Vidarbha.

We have immediately deposited 8 of the 100 requested MG Hector Ambulance units." Now, if we talk about the features of the Hector ambulance, so it is being developed by MG Motor India's Engineering team at Halol (Gujarat).
