In January last year, the London ambulance service incorporated a series of purely electric Ford E-Transit in its fleet. These emergency vehicles, which have evolved with the help of Ford Pro’s Special Vehicles team, perform their duties 24 hours a day by offering the same services as the corresponding diesel -powered models – except that they do not emit pollutants while driving. .

London’s ambulance service strategy in using electric vehicles on critical shipments is part of the Carbon Neutral Plan program, which aims to achieve zero emissions by 2040. In addition, the London city ambulance service points out that electric ambulances Ford Pro’s e-transit have achieved a savings of 75% of fuel costs compared to the corresponding diesel vehicles.

A new video from Ford Pro presents two consecutive shifts of paramedical staff, which provides its services in response to emergencies in the city of London. In the relevant video we watch the standard workload over a weekend through the eyes of the crews using Ford Pro’s electric e-transit to provide services that save lives where needed in one of Europe’s busiest cities.

Comments

“We are very pleased to see London’s ambulance service recognizing the capabilities of Ford Pro’s e-transit ambulances and helping to convince them that driving autonomy and flexibility of electric vehicles allows them to take on first line roles. We are proud to be reinforcing our relationship with the London ambulance service and using Ford Pro’s know -how in electric vehicles to support their important work that saves lives. ”
