The 322-strong fleet of ambulances operated by the Suwa Seriya Foundation will continue to fulfil its humanitarian mission in Sri Lanka with tyres supplied by CEAT Kelani Holdings as the preferred tyre supplier.
CEAT Kelani recently renewed its commitment to the Suwa Seriya Foundation, undertaking to provide tyres for five ambulances free and to provide the others at a special price that is marginally above the cost of production.
The Suwa Seriya ambulance service runs a minimum of 25,000 kms a day to save lives. CEAT Kelani has undertaken to produce customised ‘Rhino Plus’ tyres with the Suwa Seriya number 1990 on the side walls of the tyres to identify them as belonging to the ambulance service. CEAT Kelani Chief Operating Officer Shamal Gunawardene said, “The Suwa Seriya ambulance service has saved many lives, and we are happy to be able to help the Foundation make a substantial saving on the price of tyres, thereby ensuring that the service is not curtailed due to escalating costs. “These tyres are designed and built for reliability and excellent handling in local conditions, ensuring a safe drive for users,” he said.
