Twenty-three students from Eindhoven University of Technology just built the world’s first solar-powered ambulance, the Stella Juva — a mobile hospital on wheels designed to bring life-saving care to remote areas with no power or fuel. Powered by rooftop solar panels and a 50 kWh battery, it can travel 700+ km on a sunny day and run diagnostics, blood tests, and ultrasounds anywhere. Though built in the Netherlands, its real test is in Kenya, where it’ll tackle real-world challenges like TB treatment. Backed by global health partners, the team’s goal? Turn this prototype into a scalable solution — and maybe even convince Europe’s healthcare industry to adopt it.
