Overgate Hospice is a cornerstone of compassion in our region. A place where individuals and families facing the most difficult moments of their lives receive dignity, comfort and unwavering support. Their teams deliver extraordinary care every single day, whether that’s specialist inpatient services, counselling for families, or essential outreach within the community.
Their work is tireless, sensitive and profoundly human. And behind the scenes, there’s a huge logistical effort that makes this level of care possible, staff movements, equipment transport, community visits and the day-to-day operations that keep the hospice running smoothly.
Back in April this year, Overgate Hospice took delivery of two Renault Trucks E-Tech Trafics supplied by JDS Truck & Van. Six months on, these vehicles have proven to be a valuable and dependable addition to their fleet.
The hospice has already seen meaningful benefits. The quiet, smooth driving experience has been ideal for sensitive environments and community visits. Lower running and maintenance costs have helped support budget predictability, an important factor for an organisation that relies on charitable funding. And with the ability to operate freely in Clean Air Zones, the E-Tech Trafics have offered greater operational flexibility across the region.
What makes this particularly significant is the alignment of values. Overgate Hospice is dedicated to providing comfort, dignity and support during life’s most challenging moments. By integrating electric vehicles into their fleet, they’re also contributing to cleaner air and a healthier environment for the very community they care for.
We’re honoured that Overgate Hospice chose JDS Truck & Van and Renault Trucks as their supplying dealer. And our commitment doesn’t stop at delivery, our Renault Trucks 24/7 service network is there to ensure the vehicles stay on the road, so the hospice’s vital work continues uninterrupted.
Here’s to incredible organisations making thoughtful, forward-looking choices that benefit people, planet and the wider community.
