Quick Response Team (QRT) Initiative

As part of its commitment to building safer communities and realizing Honda’s global vision of a collision-free society by 2050, Honda India Foundation (HIF) launched the ‘Sadak Sahayak: Surakshit Marg, Surakshit Jiwan’ initiative. Under this program, HIF is deploying 300 specially equipped Quick Response Team (QRT) vehicles across five states—Gujarat, Haryana, Rajasthan, Karnataka, and Uttar Pradesh—to strengthen emergency response and enhance public safety.

These QRT vehicles, based on the Honda CB350, are equipped with revolving flashers, blinkers, public announcement systems, sirens, flashlights, storage boxes, and safety helmets. Designed for agility and rapid response, they empower police forces to act swiftly during emergencies, especially in high-density and sensitive areas.
