Last-Mile Organ Delivery Via Lambo

Last-Mile Organ Delivery Via Lambo

In 2024, Italy’s state police will begin using a new Lamborghini Urus Performante supercar for the critical task of rapidly transporting medical organs. This 666-horsepower SUV, capable of reaching a top speed of 306 km/h and accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds, will significantly enhance the efficiency of emergency medical services. The vehicle, donated by Lamborghini, is specially equipped for organ and plasma transport, featuring necessary police and medical equipment.

This initiative is part of a long-standing collaboration between Lamborghini and the Italian Police that began in 2004. The Urus Performante joins two Huracán LP610-4s and is the sixth Lamborghini to be integrated into the police fleet. The primary use of these high-performance vehicles is for ‘life-saving transports’, involving the swift and secure delivery of organs, tissues, plasma, and pharmaceutical products to hospitals, often located in challenging or remote areas.

This collaboration has already yielded significant results. Since 2004, the Italian Police have completed 242 organ transports and over 382 operational services on roads and motorways using Lamborghini vehicles. One notable instance was in February when a kidney was transported from L’Aquila’s San Salvatore hospital to Turin’s Molinette hospital in under five hours, covering over 700 km in a Lamborghini Huracan.

These supercars also serve in traffic police operations and in raising awareness about safe driving. Officer Maria Francesca Bruschi emphasizes the complexity and importance of these transports, highlighting the collaboration with the National Transplant Centre in executing these critical missions. Lamborghini’s contribution to the Italian State Police fleet underscores the vital role of high-performance vehicles in medical emergencies, ensuring timely and efficient transportation of life-saving organs and medical supplies.
