CAFU says it will provide Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services (DCAS) with free fuel for a period of two weeks as the UAE continues its fight against the Coronavirus.
The region’s first fuel delivery app firm said the gesture highlights the collaboration between the private and public sector in facing challenges in the current critical environment.
CAFU explained in a statement that it will deliver petrol on-demand to the DCAS’s fleet of ambulances operating in over 100 locations across Dubai, “bringing contactless fuel delivery to frontline health workers and eliminating the need for them to go to a petrol station.”
“CAFU has evolved into an essential part of people’s lives since its launch,” said Rashid Al Ghurair, CEO, CAFU. “We now have 180 trucks covering Dubai, Ajman, Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain. CAFU is designed as a contactless service – our pilots can come and fuel cars wherever the customer is and at their convenient time, minimising exposure to any physical contact while still ensuring the car is always fueled up.”
Al Ghurair aded that CAFU is proud to support the Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services in this noble cause and help ensure their ambulance services can operate without interruption.
“It is important to come together as a community and support each other during this critical time,” he said.
Khalifa Bin Dray, executive director, DCAS said his service deeply appreciates this “remarkable initiative” from CAFU.
He added: “This is a true testament of the UAE’s ability to inspire solidarity between members of the society to defeat this pandemic. This cooperation is in line with the directives of our wise leadership to bolster cooperation between the government and private sectors to prevent the spread of this disease.”
