We can't discuss about Jaambaaro without considering the context and without considering how it has been designed. This vehicle has been designed in partnership with two NGOs "Médecins du Monde" and ENDA. I decided to work on this subject after travelling several times in Africa and after previous projects with ENDA Ecopole in Senegal and also in Guinea Conakry. So I know health problems in rural regions. Jaambaaro is a first necessity solution and works with telemedicine. Jaambaaro leave the village and at the same time an ambulance leave the hospital so they do just a part of the road. Thus, it reduces time of transportation from villages to hospitals. Some parts of Jaambaaro (especially technical parts as solar panels) are developped for NGOs and bought by those organizations and the others materials came from local countries. The vehicle is designed to be built directly on African countries. Hello, I’m Benoît Angibaud,

The vehicle is wide, wheras many places without motor transport are narrow paths suitable for walking and bike riding. The patient is in a greenhouse, where they can broil in the sun. In spite of the large solar panel, the pedalers are unsheltered, so they are free to bake in the sun and be soaked in the rain. What can this expensive thing do that an electric bike with a trailer costing 100th as much can't. Only one thing, look real pretty... Another case of form over function.

What will actually happen is that the car will be immediately taken apart as soon as the aid-workers leave, and sold for scrap. Obviously, the designer has never been to rural Africa.

Comment by Lim I completely agree, but in this case, the solution could be far from the exelent, but this is reasoned design, and very ambitious idea. I think that more work for simplify, and some tests could result in a great design Hi

Why on earth would anyone want this stupid thing that you need to pedal to travel those "vast distances" rather than, say, a real ambulance? I'm sure that even an ambulance emeritus would be easily refurbed for the purpose with less money it takes to even dream up these ridiculous gimmicks. I agree with previous commentators.

I think it's a good concept. Perhaps a version for other materials. In Asia, mopeds and bicycles are packed sky high with goods, so there might be a market for this.
