World's first solar-powered ambulance brings healthcare off-grid

What if the nearest hospital was hours away and there was no reliable electricity once you got there? A group of university students in the Netherlands is tackling that problem with a vehicle unlike any ambulance you have probably seen.

Solar Team Eindhoven has unveiled Stella Juva, which the team calls the world's first solar-powered ambulance .

Instead of focusing on getting patients to a hospital, the vehicle is designed to bring medical care directly to people who live far from one.

Even better, Stella Juva can generate the electricity needed to drive and operate its medical equipment using sunlight.

That could make a huge difference in remote communities where fuel is hard to find and dependable electricity cannot be taken for granted.

I have followed some fascinating solar vehicles over the years.

This one caught my attention because the technology has a very human purpose behind it.
