Suzuki is supplying its Jimny compact 4×4 vehicles to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution to be based at various locations around the UK and used for beach patrol work where conditions require a lightweight vehicle.
Nine red Jimnys have been delivered and are based at Sefton Beaches in the North West; South Hams in Devon, Poole, Bournemouth and Constantine Bay in North Cornwall.
The Jimny will be ideal for any beach patrol activity, and with its simple to operate push button four-wheel-drive system, it allows lifeguards to be close to the water’s edge for long periods so reducing their response time considerably.
