On Tuesday, July 23, 2024, at the Senanikom 2 Community Sports Ground, the National Health Security Office (NHSO) joined forces with Zendai Foundation, Krungthep Thanakom Company Limited, STL Group Holdings Company Limited (Stallions), AI SmartWIN Company Limited (SmartWIN App), and We Win Wisdom Company Limited (We Win Club) to conduct free health and dental check-ups for public motorcycle taxi drivers across all 50 districts.
The project, running from July 23-24, 2024, aims to enhance the quality of life for motorcycle taxi riders throughout Bangkok. It includes general health screenings, chest X-rays, dental services, and basic health education, all provided free of charge. The initiative promotes better health and living standards for riders who spend most of their time on the road.
In addition to health checks and basic health education, Thai motorcycle manufacturer “Stallions” and the Thai motorcycle taxi app “SmartWIN” will provide training on the SmartWIN mobile application technology, helping riders increase their income, create jobs, and enhance their careers.
Executives from AI SmartWIN emphasized that the SmartWIN app was developed to improve the image and income of public motorcycle taxi riders while facilitating easier access to services for passengers at fair prices set by the Department of Transportation. The app also ensures service quality and aims to improve the quality of life for riders, recognizing their critical role in society. The initiative will also link with the NHSO for home medication delivery and expand services to include package delivery and taxi calls in the future, with life and accident insurance for riders to further enhance their quality of life.
In this project, Stallions introduces yellow-plate registered electric motorcycles for public motorcycle taxi riders to test drive, offering an alternative for income generation, energy cost reduction, and knowledge of sustainable transportation technology.
Mr. Thirachet Lapjaturapit, CEO of STL Group Holdings Company Limited (Stallions), stated that air pollution is a significant threat to health and the climate, referencing World Health Organization (WHO) data showing it affects approximately 2.4 billion people and causes 7 million premature deaths annually. As a Thai motorcycle manufacturer, Stallions has reduced the production of gasoline-engine motorcycles since 2019, increasing investment in electric motorcycle infrastructure to accelerate the reduction of air and noise pollution. Stallions aims to promote equitable knowledge and improve quality of life by reducing transportation costs. The company’s projects focus on improving the lives of street heroes like motorcycle taxi riders, helping them “reduce expenses and increase income,” thus making the transition to a pollution-free society more attainable.
