BEIJING: A Chinese company has exported a batch of 52 state-of-art fire-trucks to Karachi to enhance fire-fighting and rescue level of the port city.
This batch of fire vehicle, manufactured by Guangdong Yongqiang Aolinbao International Fire Truck Co., Ltd is different from traditional fire trucks that can only stop and spray water. These vehicles are convenient and available, flexible, and easy to operate, according to Sina.com, a Chinese news website here on Monday.
A demonstration of vehicle functions and a demonstration of high-pressure water gun fire extinguishing were conducted during the send-off ceremony.
The project is part of the infrastructure development of Karachi, the largest city in Pakistan and it is the largest fire truck procurement project in Pakistan in the past 30 years. The project, supervised by Prime Minister Imran Khan, adopted global bidding.
The companies from different countries competed on the same stage to win this goal. It said, the successful export this time is not only a testimony of the friendship between China and Pakistan, but also will accelerate the pace of Dongguan’s manufacturing of fire-fighting equipment to go abroad and serve the global fire-fighting industry, demonstrating the strong strength of Dongguan manufacturing to the world.
According to the report, the export of the fire-fighting vehicle will contributes to a sound China-Pakistan relationship.
The new fire truck products will greatly enhance Pakistan’s fire-fighting and rescue capabilities, further promote the Karachi City Government’s fire-fighting emergency rescue level, and provide strong hardware support for the safety of Karachi citizens.
Guangdong Yongqiang Aolinbao International Fire Truck Co.,Ltd was established in 2005 and is one of the well-known manufacturers of emergency mobile fire rescue equipment in China. –PNP
