<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"c-ad u-show-for-mobile-only\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__placeholder\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-ad__placeholder__logo\"

loading=\"lazy\"><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Students from Solar Team Eindhoven at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands have developed Stella Juva \u2013 a road-legal ambulance that operates as an electric vehicle (EV) powered by fully integrated solar panels.<\/p>\n<p>Energy generated from the sun is stored in a 50 kWh battery, allowing the ambulance to safely keep driving and deliver healthcare in remote areas \u2013 which often lack reliable infrastructure, electricity and fuel options \u2013 even when the sun has gone down. <\/p>\n<p>Unlike traditional ambulances that pick patients up and transport them to a hospital, Stella Juva brings healthcare directly to people in need. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen a healthcare professional arrives at a dispensary, they are able to extend solar panels from the side of the ambulance,\u201d Yarno Basten of Solar Team Eindhoven tells Euronews Earth. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis helps generate extra energy and provide shade for delivering healthcare. While stationary, the ambulance generates more solar energy than the medical equipment uses. This means that healthcare workers can keep using medical equipment at all times.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>World\u2019s first solar ambulance takes to the road<\/h2>\n<p>During its first practical test, in collaboration with the international health organisation Amref Health Africa, Sella Juva covered more than 800km driving around various field locations in the Narok region of Kenya.<\/p>\n<p>At one point, the team spent six hours travelling on challenging roads to reach a remote field location in Mosiro.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id data-event=\"widget_related\">\n<div class=\"c-widget-related__title\"><b class=\"c-widget-related__title__text\" lang=\"en\">Related<\/b><\/div>\n<ul class=\"c-widget-related__list\" id=\"abe-article-related-1\">\n<li class=\"c-widget-related__item\">Romania is falling behind the renewables race.

Within just half an hour, the team was able to exchange it with a new piece, so that Stella Juva was able to finish her journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>An \u2018energy independent\u2019 ambulance<\/h2>\n<p>Stella Juva is equipped with medical equipment that is urgently needed by health organisations in remote locations, such as an X-ray machine, ultrasound, Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and cooling equipment for vaccines. <\/p>\n<p>During a two-day test, the solar ambulance proved that it could have provided medical care to approximately 200 people. <\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.5625\">\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/89\/98\/28\/808x454_cmsv2_0bda8370-0bcd-5ff1-9166-c93389b891f1-9899828.jpg\" alt=\"Stella Juva parked up with its solar panels extended.\"><figcaption class=\"widget__caption\"><span class=\"widget__captionWrap\"><span class=\"widget__captionText\">Stella Juva parked up with its solar panels extended.<\/span><span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Bart van Overbeeke<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>While stationary, Stella Juva generated more solar energy than it consumed while using all of the medical equipment simultaneously. Researchers say that this shows the ambulance can operate in an \u201cenergy independent manner\u201d, allowing healthcare workers to keep using medical equipment at all times. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is really great for the team to see the potential of Stella Juva in practice,\u201d says team manager Mathijs van Gerven. \u201cNot only to drive sustainably, but also to be able to provide fully independent care. Especially in remote areas where energy is often scarce, this can make all the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018The potential impact could be enormous\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cIn Narok, long distances and unreliable electricity still make quality healthcare difficult to access,\u201d says Geoffrey Sadera, a project lead of maternal and child health at Amref Health Africa. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cStella Juva can bring not only health workers to remote communities, but also the power and medical equipment needed to examine and diagnose people on the spot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For example, during a single outreach, Stella Juva could provide an ultrasound scan for up to 40 pregnant women. This could be a literal life-saver in Narok and nearby counties, which face high levels of maternal and child mortality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we could deploy Stella Juva in these areas, the potential impact could be enormous: we could identify risks earlier, intervene sooner and ultimately save lives,\u201d Sadera says. <\/p>\n<p>Following the successful test, the research team hopes that its impressive results will inspire companies, social organisations and governments to tackle societal challenges. It says they are open to parties who want to explore scaling up the invention.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                                  Go to accessibility shortcuts<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-article-share-comment u-align-items-center u-display-flex\"><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__links u-align-items-center u-display-flex u-justify-content-center js-c-article-share-comment-share\"><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label\">Share<\/span><\/span><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label\">Comments<\/span><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label c-article-share-comment__label--always\">Add Euronews on Google<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"adb-article-you-might-also-like\" class=\"perf-cv-auto c-article-you-might-also-like\">\n<h2 class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__title\">\n        Read more<br \/>\n      <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__container\">\n<article id=\"abe-2922777-pos0-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object m-modeMobile-1 m-modeDesktop-1 m-modeXL-1 the-media-object--has-video\" data-nid=\"2922777\" data-cid=\"9899725\" data-part-label=\"Partner content\">\n<figure id=\"abe-2922777-label-pos0-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"the-media-object__image\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/89\/97\/25\/480x270_cmsv2_26c3ee4c-052a-5e34-9a0e-b0ba70942aa4-9899725.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Flames consume trees as a wildfire called the Plaskett Fire burns in Big Sure, 28 August, 2026\" height=\"9\" width=\"16\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"the-media-object__content\">\n                    Earth News<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"the-media-object__title  \">\n<p>    El Ni\u00f1o to be &#8216;very strong&#8217; and last until February, UN warns<br \/>\n  <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"abe-2922273-pos1-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object m-modeMobile-1 m-modeDesktop-1 m-modeXL-1\" data-nid=\"2922273\" data-cid=\"9897328\" data-part-label=\"Partner content\">\n<figure id=\"abe-2922273-label-pos1-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"the-media-object__image\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/89\/73\/28\/480x270_cmsv2_0f68946e-1b6f-5735-805a-692783a832de-9897328.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"A Nepalese army soldier looks at a two-month- old baby, after she and her mother were rescued from an area affected by flash flooding in Dhunche in Rasuwa District of Nepal\" height=\"9\" width=\"16\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"the-media-object__content\">\n                    Climate<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"the-media-object__title  \">\n<p>    Glacier at centre of Nepal disaster had been retreating for 35 years<br \/>\n  <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"abe-2921055-pos2-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object m-modeMobile-1 m-modeDesktop-1 m-modeXL-1\" data-nid=\"2921055\" data-cid=\"9892024\" data-part-label=\"Partner content\">\n<figure id=\"abe-2921055-label-pos2-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"the-media-object__image\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/89\/16\/23\/480x270_cmsv2_0c9e3607-6630-54a3-86c7-059d559989e8-9891623.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"The IEO launches CARIMED, a Mediterranean observation product focused on inorganic carbon and fundamental oceanographic variables.\" height=\"9\" width=\"16\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"the-media-object__content\">\n                    Climate<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"the-media-object__title  \">\n<p>    How is the Mediterranean changing?

While stationary, the ambulance generates more solar energy than the medical equipment uses. This means that healthcare workers can keep using medical equipment at all times.\u201dWorld\u2019s first solar ambulance takes to the roadDuring its first practical test, in collaboration with the international health organisation Amref Health Africa, Sella Juva covered more than 800km driving around various field locations in the Narok region of Kenya.At one point, the team spent six hours travelling on challenging roads to reach a remote field location in Mosiro.\u201cDuring the end challenge in Kenya, the solar ambulance tackled rough off-road terrain,\u201d Basten says. \u201cDuring this off-roading, the toelink broke down, which connects the front wheels to the steering mechanism.\u201cLuckily, this part was designed as the first part to break. Within just half an hour, the team was able to exchange it with a new piece, so that Stella Juva was able to finish her journey.\u201dAn \u2018energy independent\u2019 ambulanceStella Juva is equipped with medical equipment that is urgently needed by health organisations in remote locations, such as an X-ray machine, ultrasound, Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and cooling equipment for vaccines.\u00a0During a two-day test, the solar ambulance proved that it could have provided medical care to approximately 200 people.\u00a0While stationary, Stella Juva generated more solar energy than it consumed while using all of the medical equipment simultaneously. Researchers say that this shows the ambulance can operate in an \u201cenergy independent manner\u201d, allowing healthcare workers to keep using medical equipment at all times.\u00a0\u201cIt is really great for the team to see the potential of Stella Juva in practice,\u201d says team manager Mathijs van Gerven. \u201cNot only to drive sustainably, but also to be able to provide fully independent care. Especially in remote areas where energy is often scarce, this can make all the difference.\u201d\u2018The potential impact could be enormous\u2019\u201cIn Narok, long distances and unreliable electricity still make quality healthcare difficult to access,\u201d says Geoffrey Sadera, a project lead of maternal and child health at Amref Health Africa.\u00a0\u201cStella Juva can bring not only health workers to remote communities, but also the power and medical equipment needed to examine and diagnose people on the spot.\u201dFor example, during a single outreach, Stella Juva could provide an ultrasound scan for up to 40 pregnant women. This could be a literal life-saver in Narok and nearby counties, which face high levels of maternal and child mortality.\u201cIf we could deploy Stella Juva in these areas, the potential impact could be enormous: we could identify risks earlier, intervene sooner and ultimately save lives,\u201d Sadera says.\u00a0Following the successful test, the research team hopes that its impressive results will inspire companies, social organisations and governments to tackle societal challenges. It says they are open to parties who want to explore scaling up the invention.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/09\/07\/inside-the-worlds-first-solar-ambulance-transforming-remote-healthcare-even-when-the-sun-g&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/89\/98\/28\/1200x675_cmsv2_a3a77a42-c365-582e-a136-8da78b1d4272-9899828.jpg&#8221;] Europe News French billionaire Olivier Bouygues on trial in illegal hunting case Health news The young brain\u2019s hidden weakness: When plasticity goes wrong Europe in Motion Where in Europe has seen the most outbreaks of Salmonella?
