## Notice

The Scottish Ambulance Service is fully committed to embracing the Scottish Government direction that they will "Take the lead in promoting the use of ultra-low emission vehicles (ULEVs) and phase out the need for new petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2032." In support of this strategy, Transport Scotland have published Switched on Scotland: A roadmap to widespread adoption of plug-in vehicles offering practical assistance in delivering the strategy and in turn the wider benefits. To support the increasing numbers of electric vehicles that the Scottish Ambulance are introducing into their fleet, the Service continues to procure the supply and installation of a number of electric vehicle chargers at locations across Scotland.
