JIM, Gildemeister’s truck specialist brand, formalized a three-year cooperation agreement with the Chilean Fire Department. This alliance includes the delivery of a fleet of RE-MAX trucks, a training and training program on safe driving in emergencies, as well as technical and logistical assistance between both parties.
Thus, the newly released JIM RE-MAX becomes the most important donation of trucks to the institution. The agreement considers the delivery of 16 RE-MAX trucks, one for each region of Chile, which the brand will make available to the different Firefighters units.
“We are convinced that JIM RE-MAX is the ideal truck and the best ally for the work that firefighters do daily,” commented Paula Sepúlveda, Corporate Business Manager at Gildemeister. “It is a vehicle with excellent reliability, resistant, robust and agile, being the perfect combination of Japanese engineering with the Isuzu heritage and the efficiencies of Chinese production, capable of adapting to any terrain requirement. “We are proud to be part of the Chilean Firefighters and support them in their selfless work,” she added.
The trucks that JIM will provide are the most equipped versions currently sold by the brand: RE-MAX Deluxe. This is the 4×4 variant of the model that, in addition to the renowned platform on which it is built and its 2.0-liter Isuzu turbodiesel engine, includes a front tow hook, tire pressure monitoring sensor, stability control, traction control and hill start and descent assists.
The cooperation agreement between Chilean Firefighters and Gildemeister also includes training and training programs, which will be carried out by the National Firefighters Academy, in order to strengthen knowledge and skills in the safe and effective management of emergencies, including the risk identification, rescue techniques and use of personal protective equipment.
The delivery of the 16 JIM RE-MAX trucks is scheduled for June, the month in which National Firefighters Day is commemorated.
