NHS England to trial hydrogen-powered ambulances

NHS England is set to trial hydrogen-powered ambulances, as it works with ambulance trusts across the country to develop an operational plan to roll-out the zero-emissions vehicles.

An ambulance developed by UK-based ULEMCo will be the vehicle in focus here. Equipped with a hydrogen fuel cell in the powertrain, the ambulances boast an up to 300-mile range and quick refuelling times.
