Suzuki India Donates Ambulances To Aid Pandemic Response

With the second wave of COVID-19 infections in full swing all across India, the local healthcare system is struggling to manage the number of cases. With thousands of people contracting the virus on a daily basis, it would appear that the economic life of the country has ground to a halt, with the private sector pitching in whatever it can to help the nation’s pandemic response initiatives.

Several industries have reported temporary shutdowns in order to reallocate resources towards aid and relief initiatives. The motorcycle industry is no different. Major motorcycle manufacturers in the region such as Hero MotoCorp, and Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India have temporarily halted operations in a bid to curb the spread of the virus. Suzuki Motorcycles India is doing its part, as well, by gearing resources towards donating ambulances to various medical institutions, in order to help in delivering aid, as well as transporting patients to nearby hospitals.
