Forbes Magazine recently covered a story on the top 10 Eco-friendly innovations. The 1298's Solar Ambulance was featured as one of the innovations.
The 1298's Solar Ambulances have their batteries charged using solar energy. The batteries are used to run the various life saving equipments on board the ambulance. On the solar ambulances, the batteries get charged even while stationary where as in the case of the normal ambulance, once the battery is discharged, the vehicle needs to run to charge the batteries again. This uses up fuel and increases downtime, both of which are saved in the solar Ambulances.
Chris Walker, the Acumen Fellow 2008 had made a video on the solar Ambulance:
