The first of three fully electric vehicles being trialled by South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAmb) is set to hit the roads in the coming days. This move is part of NHS England’s ambitious Zero Emission Electric Vehicle (ZEEV) Pathfinder project, aiming to pioneer the use of electric vehicles in emergency services.

The trial will feature Mercedes-Benz e-Vitos, operating as Single Responder Vehicles (SRVs). These vehicles will initially be based out of three SECAmb sites equipped with heavy-duty vehicle chargers: Polegate, Thanet, and Gatwick. Remarkably, these chargers can power up the vehicles in as little as 30 minutes, ensuring rapid turnaround times.
