Fast, tailored specification
Ready for the toughest environments
The Philippines suffers an unfair share of the world’s natural disasters. Rural hospitals see sudden surges for acute care are often in mountainous, jungle regions. With patients and healthcare workers pushed to the limit, the only way to keep the lights on in remote operating theatres is to call in the army.
Powering facilities to triage an influx of patients requires generators – which means fuel reliability is a matter of life and death. The Philippine Army asked us for a flexible solution to fit their fleet, delivered fast to support overwhelmed doctors and nurses deep in the rainforest.
Project Solution
Proven solutions, tailored
Our battle-tested TransCube 50 was the natural choice for this hostile environment, which we finished fast in specified paint. Then we went that extra mile, to ensure the army could, too. Our local chassis partner built hurricane-ready trailers designed to navigate treacherous mountain tracks.
Power outages kill long after a storm has dissipated. Hurricanes are unpredictable. But a reliable supply of life-saving diesel doesn’t need to be if you’re ready with the correct kit. After the army used an initial thirteen 4,500 liter units, they ordered another 25 to support their charter – to serve the country and secure the land.
