On June 11, 2020, Foton Moton (part of the state-owned BAIC Group) donated a negative pressure ambulance to Ecuador’s Ministry of Public Health worth approximately USD$51,428.57. It is intended to help Ecuador combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

📋 Staff Comments

The approximate value of the ambulance is calculated from Foton’s press release regarding the donation, which states the BAIC Group/Foton Motor have donated 7 negative pressure ambulances over the course of the pandemic for a total of USD $360,000. Thus, to determine the value of one ambulance, $360,000 has been divided by 7.
