Isuzu Ute teams up with Royal Flying Doctor Service

Isuzu Ute Australia has embarked on a long term partnership with the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS), providing support for emergency vehicles.

It's hoped the national three-year venture with the charitable organisation will help to deliver better health outcomes to those living beyond the reach of mainstream medical services in rural and remote Australia, with Isuzu providing both financial support and a fleet of D-Max utes and MU-X SUVs.

The vehicles will be enlisted to tow the Flying Doctor's state-of-the-art training simulators around the country for its schools Education Program and national events program.

"We understand the importance of having dependable transportation in isolated and challenging environments," said Isuzu Ute Australia's Deputy Managing Director, Koichiro Yoshida.

"Our D-Max and MU-X vehicles are a perfect match for this sometimes-remote work and the long-distance towing demands of the Royal Flying Doctor Service where reliability is crucial.

"It is important for us to give back to those that support us, and so this is our way of saying thank you to the Royal Flying Doctor Service for its tireless service and commitment to our community by helping educate students at schools and raise awareness and funds at events across the country."

Support via corporate partnerships such as this help the RFDS to purchase new aircraft, invest in critical infrastructure, upgrade life-saving medical equipment, and deliver essential primary health care and mental health services.

"As a national health charity, the support from individuals, small businesses and corporations has underpinned critical delivery of primary health and emergency medical services for decades," said Frank Quinlan, Federation Executive Director of the RFDS.

"We are excited about this new major national partnership with Isuzu as it enables us to keep the Flying Doctor flying, driving, and caring for people across rural and remote Australia."
