Solar-Powered Ambulance Hits the Road | Amsterdam News

Students from Solar Team Eindhoven in the Netherlands just dropped a solar-powered ambulance called Stella Juva, designed to revolutionize medical access in remote areas. Powered entirely by rooftop solar panels, it can travel over 400 miles on a sunny day and runs all medical equipment off-grid — making it the world’s first solar ambulance. Built to tackle the challenges of isolated communities in Kenya, where health workers often trek miles without reliable power or fuel, this innovation could keep vaccines cold and tools running without a plug. The team, known for their solar car feats across Australia and Morocco, is set to deploy Stella Juva next month with Amref Health Africa — a bold step toward equitable healthcare in the most inaccessible places.

Escalator Smashed at Groningen Station | Amsterdam News

Something wild went down at Groningen station during King’s Night—folks pushed a 1,000-kilogram aerial platform off an escalator, causing massive damage. ProRail says the escalator’s out for at least 28 weeks, with a new drive system needing 26 weeks to manufacture and deliver. Passengers now rely on stairs or elevators to reach the tunnel, while the other escalator remains functional. The repair bill? A quarter-million euros. Police are investigating, but no cameras caught the culprits—making recovery unlikely. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
