Hyundai Motor India has entered into a partnership with Air Liquide Medical Systems Pvt Ltd (ALMS), a manufacturer of ICU ventilators.
The partnership will augment the production and supply of ventilators in Tamil Nadu and other states.
With this partnership, HMI and ALMS plan to achieve a target of 1000 ventilators in Phase 1 of production, and to scale up subsequently.
Ventilators are medical devices used by healthcare professionals that take over the work of breathing from patients, who are unable to breathe on their own, by delivering air with a high concentration of oxygen to their lungs. Patients, severely affected by Covid-19, need ventilators to overcome respiratory insufficiency, said the company.
