London Ambulance Service/NHS
Here's a summary from Electrek:
London’s ambulance service has already integrated 42 Ford Mustang Mach-E electric vehicles into its emergency fleet. Now, it’s taking the next step by adding 12 fully electric ambulances designed specifically for emergency response. These are the first all-electric ambulances in the city and part of a larger initiative to reduce emissions across the NHS.
Ford partnered with specialist converter WAS to develop these vehicles, ensuring they can operate for 12 hours straight and power essential systems like heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. They also include smart features such as an inventory scanning system that checks the ambulance’s contents after each trip, making sure everything is ready for the next call.
Daniel Elkeles, CEO of the London Ambulance Service, described the new vehicles as a “game changer†for emergency services worldwide. He emphasized that while the service already uses electric transport and support vehicles, this is the first time electric ambulances will be used for life-threatening emergencies in London.
The ambulances come equipped with a powered trolley bed, a carry chair, and an advanced inventory management system. The first four units have already arrived, with the remaining eight expected soon as part of a pilot program led by NHS England’s Net Zero Travel and Transport team.
This initiative involves collaboration with the London Ambulance Service and four other ambulance trusts, aiming to collect real-world data to guide future zero-emission emergency vehicle deployments.
London currently has the largest fleet of electric emergency vehicles in the UK, including 42 Ford Mach-Es and three electric motorcycles. In total, there are 160 zero-emission vehicles in operation. Ambulance stations are also equipped with 56 charging points to keep the fleet running smoothly.
The UK government plans to ban non-zero-emission cars and vans by 2030, and the NHS is responsible for about 4% of the country’s annual greenhouse gas emissions. This move aligns with broader environmental goals.
Other companies, like New York-based DocGo, are also deploying zero-emission ambulances—based on the Ford E-Transit model—with 100 units operating in cities like New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Nashville, and even in Canada and the UK.
