The £70k Volvo XC90s will replace two Land Rovers which a charity says they have 'outgrown'.
The East Anglian Air Ambulance has bought two new rapid response vehicles costing £70,000 eachEAAA hopes to have the new vehicles fully operational within the next three weeksTwo new rapid response vehicles bought by the East Anglian Air Ambulance will help save more lives, the charity has said.The vehicles, based in Norwich and Cambridge, will replace two existing Land Rovers, which the charity said they had "outgrown" due to carrying more equipment.
The vehicles are mostly used in urban areas, close to EAAA's bases in Norwich and Cambridge, where critical care teams can reach emergencies much quicker than the charity's two helicopters. They can also travel in all weather conditions.The charity, which covers Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk, originally hoped to have the vehicles fully operational earlier this year but the project faced delays due to supply issues.
The EAAA said it hoped to replace its existing RRVs with electric vehicles in future but that the current infrastructure was not yet in place.Follow East of England news on
