Goodyear Malaysia continues to reinforce its commitment to community safety by donating 60 units of its Goodyear Cargo Marathon 2 tyres to St. John Ambulance. With a total value exceeding RM25,000, this latest contribution marks another significant chapter in a partnership that has been fostering public safety since 2006.
For nearly 20 years, Goodyear Malaysia has actively supported St. John Ambulance, ensuring that their emergency response vehicles are equipped with high-performance tyres capable of handling the critical demands of medical emergencies. This ongoing collaboration is part of Goodyear’s broader mission to give back to the community, particularly by empowering those who work tirelessly to protect public health and safety.
“St. John Ambulance plays a vital role in Malaysia’s emergency medical services, and Goodyear is proud to contribute to their life-saving efforts,” said Ashwin Rajgopal, Managing Director of Goodyear Malaysia. “This latest donation is more than just a supply of tyres; it’s a testament to our commitment to ensuring their fleet operates reliably, regardless of road conditions. By outfitting their ambulances with our advanced tyres, we are directly enhancing the safety and efficiency of their operations, helping them reach those in need as quickly as possible.”
St. John Ambulance Malaysia provides a wide array of critical services, from round-the-clock ambulance operations to specialised transport for bariatric and neonatal patients, as well as operating haemodialysis centres across the country. As the main ambulance provider for Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and KLIA2, they are on the front lines of emergency responses, including incidents involving air disasters.
The Goodyear Cargo Marathon 2 tyres, chosen for their superior performance, feature an advanced polymer tread compound that ensures excellent mileage and enhanced wet braking capabilities. With an optimised tread pattern that promotes even pressure distribution and extended tyre life, they provide a robust, quieter, and smoother ride—essential qualities for ambulances navigating diverse and challenging road conditions throughout Malaysia.
Goodyear Malaysia remains dedicated to supporting the community, particularly through initiatives that enhance safety and well-being. The company’s long-term partnership with St. John Ambulance exemplifies the positive impact of collaboration, ensuring that critical help is always on the road when it’s needed most.
