DocGo announced it would begin using an all-electric ambulance to transport patients in New York City.
According to DocGo, the ambulance is the first of its kind to be registered in the United States.
The zero-emissions vehicle was designed in collaboration with Lightning eMotors and Leader Emergency Vehicles.
Its build started with a Ford Transit T350 Type II ambulance chassis and Lightning eMotors converted it to a battery-electric platform.
The emergency vehicle uses a 120-kWh battery pack for up to 170 miles of per-charge driving and can travel at an electronically-limited speed of 65 miles per hour.
DocGo, formerly Ambulnz, employs approximately 4,000 health professionals across the U.S. and provides last-mile mobile medical services.
