World's First Solar-Powered Ambulance Unveiled

World's First Solar-Powered Ambulance Unveiled

The Stella Juva is the world's first ambulance powered entirely by solar energy.

Built by 23 students, it can drive, power medical equipment, and store electricity for use at night or during cloudy weather.

It can reach speeds of up to 120 km/h and travel up to 715 km on a sunny day.

The ambulance is designed to bring healthcare to remote areas that lack roads, electricity, and fuel.

It can run medical equipment like ultrasound machines and refrigerators for vaccines.

The team is now testing the ambulance in Kenya to see how well it works in tough, off-road conditions.

This could help bring better healthcare to places that are hard to reach.
