On 26 April this year, the Government commenced the territory-wide Home Vaccination Service (HVS) to provide vaccination to persons with impaired mobility or special needs. The EMSD was commissioned by the Civil Service Bureau (CSB) in late March to provide specialised vehicles with on-board power supply systems for the HVS.
Within just a few days, the EMSD staff, with extensive experience and team spirit, successfully completed the commissioned work, including contemplated the design proposal; identified two soon retired medium vans; carried out comprehensive parts inspection, refurnishing, modification, cleaning and waxing; set up on-board power supply systems and tested their operation to ensure that the vehicles meet our client’s requirements. With thorough technical analysis and meticulous design, our team has adopted on the vehicles a new independent on-board power supply system, which can be fully recharged in shortly four hours, providing safe and stable power supply in limited space. The 220-volt power supply system can meet the power demand for computer and refrigerator for printing and vaccine cooling respectively for a full day. The team took only six days to complete the task from conceptual design, procurement, modification to testing of the vehicles, during the period several overload and charging tests were conducted to ensure the safety and stability of the on-board power supply systems. Despite the tight schedule and challenges, the team dedicated their best efforts and successfully completed the project, with the two specialised vehicles delivered to the CSB on time. The team has also thoughtfully produced an illustrated user guide to facilitate client’s understanding of proper use of the vehicles.
