Beijing Automobile News: BAIC Took Action to Combat the Pandemic! Negative Pressure Ambulances Manufactured by Fujian Benz Were Urgently Transported to “Huoshenshan Hospital” and “Leishenshan Hospital” On Snowy Night
Snowflakes were falling in Beijing when the evening just came on February 5.
At this moment, China Capital Logistics received a message from Fujian Benz consulting whether China Capital Logistics could undertake an emergency task- the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology issued a notice requesting that two negative pressure ambulances should be transported separately from the refitting factory authorized by Fujian Benz in Beijing to Huoshenshan Hospital and Leishenshan Hospital in Wuhan respectively.
“We’re obliged to do it under the current pandemic situation!” Zhu Liguang, the General Manager of China Capital Logistics started preparing vehicle and arranging driver immediately.
A six-space special carrier for commercial vehicles was selected; Liu Bao, who has rich experience in driving and handles matters reliably, from the China Capital Xingda branch was selected as the driver.
Around 23:00, Liu Bao, who was about to sleep in Wuqing, Tianjin, received a call and was told to drive to Wuhan the next day.
Liu Bao was not surprised. Since the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, as the captain of the support team, he had led 11 drivers to transport vehicles for BAIC Foton to Shandong twice.
But Wuhan is a pandemic stricken area after all!
Moreover, the transportation of ambulances came with even greater responsibility!
After thinking about it carefully, he didn't tell his families the truth. "They are all at my hometown. It is not necessary to make them worry."
At 7 o'clock a.m. on February 6, Liu Bao set off in a special carrier for commercial vehicles. He would drive to the refitting factory in Miyun District, Beijing to load ambulances and then drive to Wuhan.
However, the road was closed due to heavy snow and the Beijing-Tianjin Highway was closed. It was not until 12 noon that he drove onto Beijing-Shanghai Highway after several coordination between relevant departments of BAIC Group and the transportation authority.
"I've been to Wuhan before, and I’m familiar with the road conditions." Liu Bao had already figured out the route of more than 1230 kilometers before setting out.
Meanwhile, the relevant person in charge of China Capital Logistics also went to Miyun to meet with Liu Bao. "The company has provided him with a thermometer, masks, protective clothing, goggles, disinfectant, etc." said Wu Jing, the Deputy Director of China Capital Logistics Vehicle Center.
As of 16:00 on February 6, the carrier finally broke through the wind and snow and arrived at the refitting plant, waiting for the final shipment.
For the relay race with thousands of miles of support, China Capital Logistics took the baton from Fujian Benz. On the first day of the Lunar New Year on January 25, Fujian Benz received an emergency notice to deploy a batch of Mercedes-Benz Vito negative pressure ambulance-based vehicles. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the first batch of 20 Vito-based vehicles was shipped. So far, a total of 25 vehicles have been delivered in two batches.
