Typical Ambulance Drive Cycle

The request was partially successful.

Dear London Ambulance Service NHS Trust,

I would like to enquire about a typical drive cycle (Speed against Time) for a London Ambulance shift, or failing that for a generic emergency response

I would also like to enquire about the fleet average fuel consumption (in miles per gallon), and the typical power draw on the ambulance battery from its onboard systems.

Yours faithfully,
Jack Colbert

Dear Mr Colbert
 
Thank you for your Freedom of Information (FOI) request below.
 
In your request you have asked for:

* I would like to enquire about a typical drive cycle (Speed against
Time) for a London Ambulance shift, or failing that for a generic
emergency response

Our response
The Freedom of Information Act relates to recorded information held by a
public authority. Unfortunately, the Trust does not hold the information
requested in our datasets to be able to provide this
 

* I would also like to enquire about the fleet average fuel consumption
(in miles per gallon), and the typical power draw on the ambulance
battery from its onboard systems.

Our response

* Fuel consumption is estimated to be between 20-35mpg dependant on the
vehicle type and driving type (blue light or not),
* Power draw - the box body ambulances have 5 batteries and the draw
will range from approx. 30 amps to 200 amps depending on the use case
(operating the tail lift in cold weather etc.)
