An NHS trust which runs hospitals and other health services in Oldham, Bury, Rochdale and Salford is now the first to have fully electric trucks in its fleet.

The Northern Care Alliance (NCA) is taking part in a year-long trial which will see two fully electric heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) used by the NHS group.

The state-of-the-art DAF LF Electric 19-tonne HGVs, built by Leyland Trucks, will be used to transport essential supplies, equipment and laundry between Salford Royal, Fairfield General, Royal Oldham and Rochdale Infirmary.
