Our Fleet
SERV OBN utitilise a fleet of dedicated response vehicles to be able to provide our potentially life saving service; Each of our fleet vehicles carries the names of women known for their contributions to medicine. Whilst we are a Motorcycle service – when there is a large consignment, poor weather conditions (when it would be dangerous to use a motorcycle) or the temperature is outside the permitted range to transport Blood Products via motorcycle, our four wheeled vehicles come into play.
