Garth Tander hands over new Holden patient transport fleet

Winner of last weeks V8 Supercar Armor All Gold Coast 600 Race, Garth Tander, made a special appearance in a striking liveried black and blue Holden Commodore to mark the donation of a fleet of 12 new vehicles to the Leukaemia Foundation's Patient Transport Program that operates nationally.

Leukaemia Foundation of Australia CEO, Peter Cox, said the Holden fleet of 12 Commodores would assist the Foundation in providing a vital service for leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma patients around Australia.

"We are very grateful to Holden for their ongoing support and commitment since 2002," said Mr Cox

“In the past 5 years, the service has transported over 2,100 blood cancer patients to and from treatment and the Holden sponsored cars have travelled over two million kilometres – equal to fifty laps around the globe.

"Transport to and from treatment is an area of vital need for our patients and one of our most important services. Low immunity from treatment often means patients need a specialised transport service. We need these new Commodores to help more patients arrive at treatment safely.”

Holden Motorsport Manager Simon McNamara said Holden was delighted to be assisting the Leukaemia Foundation to increase their service flexibility and patient reach.

"The Leukaemia Foundation provides an enormously valuable service to people with blood cancer and we aim to assist in as many ways as possible.

“To be able to donate 12 new VE Commodores is an important milestone in our eight year relationship with the Foundation.

“As Holden’s Leukaemia Foundation Ambassador and Patient Transport Program volunteer driver, Garth is looking forward to driving patients in the new Commodores," said Mr McNamara.

Holden HSV GTS

For over two decades drivers of the ClubSport R8 and GTS have enjoyed the freedom of the open road. The performance. The handling. The dynamics. And that instinctive touch that only an HSV driver knows. From first glance the shockwave inspired shape of the front grille and Daytime Running Lamps (DRL’s) make a bold statement about who you are, and your passion for driving. The Superflow rear spoiler, shockwave inspired fascia mounted exhaust tips and sports rear LED tail lamps give these machines a design edge that leaves others looking pedestrian.

The interior is not merely about looks and style, the GTS and ClubSport R8 have beendesigned around total driver ergonomics. Ergonomics that put the driver instinctively in control. The critical tools of driving such as the leather wrapped multifunction steering wheel and performance leather seats on GTS adjust to your optimum driving position to make the car feel as if it were built for you and you alone. The seats in the GTS elevate the ergonomic platform with seat inserts featuring premium silver twin needle stitching. The dash too has new accents with micro silver highlights in the ClubSport R8 and a carbon fibre look in the GTS.

Put your foot down on the alloy faced pedals and the exhilaration has only just begun. The ClubSport R8 and GTS have an entirely new audio system incorporated into the EDI touch screen together with Sat Nav, USB and an MP3 hard drive. Dual zone climate control ensures that the drive is as comfortable as it is entertaining. Safety is not added on, it is seamlessly built in. Both driver and front passenger have dual-stage and side impact airbags along with side curtain airbags. In the GTS, you can even boost your stopping power with the SV Enhanced 6-piston front brake option.
