For more than thirty-two years, Moto-Pfohe has been a good corporate citizen, and since its founding, it has strived to be of service to society and to support causes of public importance.
The Mountain Rescue Service and the FORD Light Commercial Range
When the Mountain Rescue Service in Bansko contacted us earlier this year with a request for assistance, we unhesitatingly accepted the challenging task of finding and transforming one of the most sought-after light commercial vehicles – the Ford Transit – for their needs. In addition to the durability and high off-road capability that the Ford Transit 4x4 possesses, we managed to carry out all the additional modifications and markings so that the vehicle is suitable for rescue dogs and can be of service to those injured in the mountains.
For nine consecutive years, Ford's light commercial range has been the most preferred range of professional vehicles in Europe.
The rescue service currently does not own a suitable vehicle adapted for rescue missions and for the service's dogs. Rescue operations involving dogs require transporting them to the scene of the accident. The conditions under which they are transported are extremely important for the precision of the rescue dogs' actions; for this very reason, we installed a fresh air system, appropriate lighting, and windows on the rear doors in the cargo area of the van. In addition to transforming the cargo area, we added a roof rack and a ladder on the rear door. Moto-Pfohe provided a super special price to the Mountain Rescue Service and carried out all additional transformations and vehicle markings at its own expense.
The project would not have been possible without the Manol Peykov and Friends Foundation. Thanks to his dedicated and tireless work, the funds for the purchase of the vehicle were raised through a donation campaign within just three days.
Ford Ranger for Use by the Mountain Rescue Service
Unexpectedly for the Mountain Rescue Service, during the handover ceremony of the Transit 4x4, Moto-Pfohe announced that it is also providing a Ford Ranger for the Rescue Service's use for at least one year.
The vehicle, already branded and prepared, was a surprise for the MRS. “On behalf of the Mountain Rescue Service and the Dog Rescue Group, I would like to express my infinite gratitude to everyone who made the realization of this dream of ours possible,” shared Atanas Ukov.
Ford Ranger continues to be the best-selling pickup truck in Europe. With increased payload, class-leading towing capacity, impressive off-road capability, and exceptional safety, we are confident that we are providing an indispensable assistant to the rescuers, and we are sure that the Ford Ranger will take them to even the most difficult-to-reach places.
On August 8, 2023, the handover of the two vehicles took place at the "Lyulin" branch. On behalf of Moto-Pfohe, the keys were presented by Mr. Aleksandar Kostadinov, Director of Marketing and Sales, to Manol Peykov and Atanas Ukov from the Mountain Rescue Service.
