The new charging infrastructure marks an important milestone in the Trust’s sustainability journey and will support future EV ambulance field trials.

To celebrate the completion of the project, the Trust welcomed South Central Ambulance Service colleagues Lauren Caiger and Rhys Cook, who brought along their prototype electric ambulance. The visit provided an exciting glimpse into the future of emergency response vehicles and the role electric transport could play across the NHS.

The hospital’s new charging facilities will help support the NHS ambition of no longer purchasing new internal combustion engine ambulances after 2030, while contributing to wider efforts to reduce carbon emissions across healthcare.

MKUH is pleased to be one of the organisations working together to support the NHS net zero journey and help drive a greener future for healthcare.
