Rivian's Custom Electric Ambulance Hits Grey's Anatomy Set
The electric vehicle manufacturer has partnered with popular TV series Grey's Anatomy to create a custom ambulance for its production. The modified commercial van, dubbed the "vanbulance," serves two purposes: providing an eco-friendly solution on set and weaving a green storyline into the show.
The vanbulance features rear double doors instead of a roll-up door, allowing cameras to reach specific interior shots without compromising sound quality. Its walls and roof panels are also removable for enhanced flexibility during filming. Rivian has added custom lighting, exterior wrap, and signage reading "Seattle Emergency Response Services" to give the ambulance an authentic look.
The company consulted with real-world emergency services to ensure the ambulance's layout accurately reflects how first responders use their vehicles. This collaboration resulted in a more realistic and immersive experience for the show's production team.
Rivian's involvement in Grey's Anatomy highlights the growing trend of Hollywood embracing electric vehicles as a sustainable option. The custom ambulance debuted on November 13, but its appearance was amplified in Thursday's episode, making it an ideal candidate for Rivian to showcase their product.
