A MULTI-MILLION-POUND investment will see more than 140 modern ambulances responding to emergencies throughout Wales.

142 hi-tech ambulances to upgrade Wales' ageing fleet

The new vehicles will be fitted with the latest technology, materials and products, according to the Welsh Government.

The five-year Welsh Ambulance Services fleet strategy involves the replacement of older ambulances which are no longer fit for purpose, replaced by newer vehicles.

As part of the first phase of the strategy, 142 new ambulances will be introduced to the current roster, following an investment of £22.45m by the Welsh Government.

Electric and hybrid vehicles will be prioritised in the wider strategy, which runs until 2030. It is hoped this will cover all vehicles covered by the Welsh Ambulance Service in order to reduce carbon emissions, when the changes are introduced in July.
