Hyundai Donates ST1 Ambulances Equipped for Emergency Treatment
Hyundai Motor Group donated two specially adapted ST1 ambulances to the National Fire Agency Hospital in South Korea.
Developed with the National Fire Agency, the vehicles meet the country’s updated “Ambulance 2.0” standards.
Each ambulance has extra room for treatment during transport, including space for staff to work near a patient’s head.
Its equipment supports emergency care such as clearing a patient’s airway and performing CPR.
A walk-through door lets more staff reach the treatment area quickly, while removable rails allow medical equipment to be changed for different cases.
The vehicles are part of wider support for firefighters, including rehabilitation equipment and devices for fire response.
The hospital received the ambulances in August, and no further plans for them are described.
