Addenbrooke’s electric bikes for improved well being, reduced car park charges and travel time
Addenbrooke's has made Cambridge Electric Transport electric bicycles available for staff travelling to local meetings where ordinarily they may have driven.
Energy and sustainability manager, Richard Hales, who led the project said: ‘Currently, staff cover around 8,000 miles a year on trips either to or from Campus of less than 10 miles - costing the Trust approximately £4,000."

- Improved well-being;
