fuel or charging costs will need to be covered by the recipient.

For insurance cover, workers must be to be over 25, with no more than six points on their licence.

Andrew Humberston­e, managing director, Nissan Motor (GB) Ltd. said: “At a time when our healthcare workers are under immense pressure, Nissan wanted to offer its support in enabling their journeys to be troublefre­e and more convenient.

“For the NHS worker who might rely on public transport and would prefer a car to drive instead; or for those whose car has experience­d a breakdown and don’t have the time to arrange its repair; or there’s any other impact on your personal mobility, then please get in touch with Nissan

and we will try to help you access one of our vehicles for free.”

Nissan has previously announced that key workers, including NHS employees, driving Nissan vehicles can access roadside assistance services free of charge, regardless of vehicle age or warranty coverage, to help them stay mobile during the coronaviru­s lockdown.

Workers should register their interest in receiving a free Nissan loan vehicle via an online registrati­on form hosted on the Nissan UK website.

Their details will be relayed to their local dealer who will be in contact to arrange the vehicle loan.

The initial number of vehicles is limited, so Nissan encourages those most in need of mobility to not delay their applicatio­n.

Applicants will be contacted if a car is available from a local dealer (within a 20-mile radius of their home).
