 My name is Michael and I am the Director of Ambulance Service Australia. Few months ago, we had the chance to trial the Renault Master and see how the vehicle would perform in particular as an emergency ambulance in motorsport venues.
Within 6 months of getting the first van, we were so impressed with the whole package (handling, economy, stability etc) that we purchased a second vehicle. The decision to change platforms in the ambulance industry can be expensive as it usually means that internal fit outs are not interchangeable, however with the reliability and economy in the new Master, it became a worthwhile change.
We have recently added a new Low Wheel Base high roof to the fleet and came up with an innovative design which allows for most paramedics to be able to stand upright in the back rather than having to stoop.
We are very satisfied with our Master and are hoping to further grow our fleet.
Michael. |

2009 F1 GP – RED BULL TEAM TRIUMPH IN ABU DHABI
The Red Bull F1 Team powered by Renault dominated the final round of this year’s F1 Season at the stunning Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. It was Sebastian Vettel who drove a great race finishing on the top step of the podium with Mark Webber following him home in second. It was the team’s fourth one-two finish in what has been a stand out season for the Renault powered team.
Sebastian Vettel, the race winner, summed up the mood at Red Bull racing saying it was a shame that the season has ended, as he feels the team is on a roll! “It’s just perfect to finish the season in this way on such a high.”
After coming second, Mark Webber congratulated the team on what they had achieved and thanked them for their patience. Webber also thanked Renault for giving Red Bull a fantastic engine and felt that overall Red Bull can be incredibly proud of what they have done…
Christian Horner, Team Principal: “That was the most brilliant way to finish the season, by gaining our fourth one-two finish and our sixth win. Both our drivers were supreme today…”
Formula 1 now enters the off season where much work will begin for many teams looking to develop an edge that will see them jump start their 2010 season next March in Bahrain before moving onto Australia.
In next months E-Newsletter, we will bring you a review of the season and an update on Renault’s involvement in Grand Prix racing next year.
