Students Unveil Solar Powered Ambulance
Teaser / Tailpiece story
A team of Dutch university students has unveiled what they believe is the world's first solar powered ambulance, designed to deliver healthcare to remote communities.
The vehicle can travel up to 715 kilometres on a sunny day and is equipped with medical equipment including an X ray machine, defibrillator, vaccine storage and testing kits, allowing treatment to take place on site instead of transporting patients to hospital.
The team will test the prototype in Kenya next month, with health experts saying it could improve access to healthcare in remote areas where long distances, unreliable electricity and high fuel costs remain major challenges.
