Demers Ambulances at the service of the population of Dubai
Already a presence in over 20 countries around the world, Demers Ambulances has just received an order from the United Arab Emirate of Dubai for the manufacture of 6 Millenium ambulances. The order from Dubai was secured by the company’s export branch, Demers Export. The ambulances to be delivered there, this coming summer, will be equipped with the most advanced technologies in the industry. Designed by Demers Ambulances, the Millenium vehicles offer the advantages of an ambulance made completely out of composite materials, enhanced visibility thanks to integrated headlights, an aerodynamic profile that yields a savings of close to 12% in fuel costs, and one of the safest possible environments for users.
The quality and the technologies of Demers Ambulances in Iraq
The employees of Demers Ambulances were immensely pleased and proud to receive the praises of an Iraqi customer to whom they delivered more than 300 vehicles in the fall of 2005. “These are the finest ambulances we have ever had on Iraqi territory…. The Demers ambulances are at the cutting edge of technology and a pleasant surprise for all the operators…. You make proud people of us,” were the comments of the government organization in charge of supplies for the Iraqi Ministry of Health. And on the basis of that reputation in the Iraqi market, Demers Ambulances and its export branch, Demers Export, can confirm a new order with another organization on Iraqi soil. At this pace, Demers will have delivered over 2,000 ambulances to Iraq since the late 1970s.
Demers ambulances in Morocco
