The vehicle age profile for all NHS Boards is shown in the charts that follow and shows that circa 85% of the vehicles are less than five years old. This represents a reasonable age profile for this asset group and indicates that investment is currently maintaining a reasonable standard of vehicle asset provision.

The type of fuel used by these vehicles is also an important consideration and the following chart shows the current reliance on diesel fuel (77% of vehicles). However, there continues to be a gradual increase in the number of alternatively fueled vehicles, which is now at 100 vehicles, a 50% increase from last year.
