Electric Ambulances Are Rolling into Hollywood: Rivian Partners with Grey's Anatomy
In a bid to promote its electric vehicles, Rivian has teamed up with the hit TV series Grey's Anatomy to create a custom electric ambulance. The vehicle, dubbed the "vanbulance," is a modified version of Rivian's Commercial Van and serves two purposes: reducing on-set exhaust fumes and weaving environmental sustainability into the storyline.
The vanbulance features several production-specific modifications, including removable walls and roof panels, allowing cameras to capture desired interior shots without compromising safety. The vehicle also boasts double doors instead of a traditional roll-up door and includes custom lighting, an exterior wrap with "Seattle Emergency Response Services," and a side entry to the cargo area.
Rivian consulted with real-life emergency services, including the Huntington Beach Fire Department and Los Angeles Fire Department, to ensure that the interior layout met first responders' needs. Their input proved invaluable in crafting a vehicle that is both functional and visually appealing.
Grey's Anatomy recently debuted its electric ambulance in a November 13 episode, but it was given more prominence in Thursday's broadcast, prompting Rivian to highlight the partnership this week. The collaboration showcases Hollywood's growing commitment to electric vehicles, even if the real-world transition seems stalled at present.

! It's not just about saving the planet, it's also about showing our kids that we care about their future 
. I mean, who wouldn't want an ambulance that's powered by electric vehicles? The vanbulance is so cool, and it's amazing that Rivian worked with real-life emergency services to make sure it was safe and functional 
.
. Like, I've been watching Grey's Anatomy with my family, and it's awesome to see the electric ambulance in use 
! It shows that even in Hollywood, there are people who care about making a difference 
.
.
! Can you imagine driving around in a super cool ambulance on Grey's Anatomy? I mean, who wouldn't want to be an EMT for a day? It's awesome that Rivian is teaming up with a popular show to promote their electric vehicles. The vanbulance sounds like it has some sick features 
. And yay for the environment! Using sustainable practices in Hollywood is kinda cool 
.
this partnership just shows how hollywood is stepping up its electric game, even if it's not happening at home yet 
let's keep cheering them on! 
. Who knew Grey's Anatomy could save lives... and gas? 
. Game-changer for the entertainment industry, imo 
!! I mean, who wouldn't want a custom electric ambulance in their TV show? It's like they're setting an example for the rest of Hollywood to follow... and honestly, it's awesome to see the entertainment industry embracing sustainability! The fact that they consulted with real-life emergency services to get the interior layout just right is so cool. I'm also loving the removable walls and roof panels - genius! 
It's like they're making electric vehicles sexy (in a good way)... and I think this partnership is gonna inspire more people to make the switch to eco-friendly rides 
, but I guess its cool that they're thinkin out of the box and stuff 
it makes sense that they consulted with real-life emergency services to make sure the interior is safe and functional, thats just common sense 
. its actually kinda awesome that Hollywood is startin to get on board with electric vehicles, even if it might take some time for them to catch up 
The idea of removable walls and roof panels sounds super handy for capturing shots without compromising safety. I'm also loving the custom lighting and exterior wrap - it looks like a real ambulance, but with a Rivian twist! 
. Like, I get it, Rivian wants to promote their electric vans and all that, but can't they just leave Grey's Anatomy alone? The show's been running for years and now they're just slapping a fancy van into an episode as some sort of marketing stunt? It feels so forced... and what's with the "vanbulance" name btw? Sounds like something out of a bad sci-fi movie 
. seriously though, it's great to see companies like rivian making a conscious effort to reduce their environmental footprint. maybe this is the wake-up call we need for real change 
now let's hope this trend catches on in the real world 
!
. Can we get more shows doing this kind of thing?!? It's so cool to see Hollywood embracing sustainability, even if it's not happening as fast as we'd like 
just saw the latest ep of Grey's Anatomy and that custom electric van is literally just a reminder that our planet is doomed 
I mean, I guess it's cool that they partnered with Rivian to promote their eco-friendly vehicles but come on, we should be seeing way more of this in real life by now 
Let's just say I'm still waiting for that real-world transition to happen... or am I just stuck on repeat doomscrolling 
anyway, i guess it's cool that they consulted with real emergency services to make sure the interior is functional and not just some hollywood prop...i mean, you'd think that would be a no-brainer
