Not Your Standard All-Terrain Vehicle
|
|
|
First responders in Israel have complex medical duties, one of which is to rescue, evacuate and treat victims on the home front during war, natural disasters, earthquakes and even snowstorms. In an earthquake, no vehicles are recruited, and even regular ambulances lack the proper evacuation ability.
This is where APF's ongoing commitment to the State of Israel comes into play. Through many innovative and cooperative programs targeted at promoting the healthcare and emergency response systems, APF has purchased two light evacuation vehicles that feature great mobility in varied locales, including off-road zones and places with limited accessibility.
