5 Mazda hybrid prototypes had been donated by the Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) to the Los Angeles Fire Division (LAFD). These prototypes, which are the Mazda Tribute Hybrid Electric Automobiles (HEV), are all clean-burning and are extremely fuel efficient.

The complete event took spot at the Fire Station 27 in Hollywood, California. There was even a ceremony as portion of it. The 5 prototypes are in fact based on the Mazda Tribute compact SUV. These 5 are all portion of the 30 vehicles that the firm would be really loaning to fire agencies all across Southern California like Orange County, Corona, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Riverside.

The donated prototype Tribute HEVs all came branded with the LAFC badge. These automobiles would be driven by the staff of the mentioned fire department in numerous assignments all through their region. Of course, they would be largely employed for non-emergency tasks that could include fire safety inspections, education programs, upkeep activities, and the like.

Jay Amestoy, MNAOs vice president of public and government affairs, stated, We wanted to give one thing back to the community with these Tribute Hybrid SUVs. Southern California firefighters are amongst the very best in the country, and were proud to have them in our backyard. These guys and women demonstrate courage, strength, and wisdom no a day-to-day basis to guard the folks who live in Los Angeles and it is a privilege for us to be in a position to partially repay their courageous efforts with the two-year loan of these Tribute HEVs.

William Bammatre is the LAFC Fire Chief and he was a single of the men and women who received the stated automobiles. He even says, We are so grateful to Mazda for their generous loan of these 4-wheel-drive Tribute HEV prototypes. What tends to make this such a considerable gesture by Mazda is that these are clean, fuel-effective SUVs, which means we will decrease our operating fees while contributing to a healthier atmosphere.
