Disease Outbreak Means Specialized Vehicles Needed — Fast!
RMA Automotive received a call in the early part of 2008 from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam's Ministry of Health. “They urgently needed 58 special Mobile Clinic vehicles to pursue a possible incidence of the Asian Bird Flu that had recently killed or sickened people in Southeast Asia,” explained Benjamin Beroud, Area Sales Manager for RMA's Asia Pacific region. “The requirements included separate driver and health worker compartments, as well as isolated storage for disinfectants and research equipment for potentially dangerous biohazard specimens.”
RMA designers and engineers proposed a specifically modified and equipped Ford Ranger pickup that included protective biohazard equipment for five health workers, disinfectant and chemical storage, portable sprayer, heat/cold insulated rear enclosure with non-slip, anti-static flooring, and shock/vibration protection for sample safety and occupant protection.
“It's exactly what the Ministry of Health was looking for,” Beroud said. “Once we received their design approval, we quickly initiated prototyping and rigorous testing. We began vehicle deliveries just 12 weeks later. The units were quickly put to use protecting the health of the Vietnamese people.”
