Hollywood's Electric Ambulance Rolls into Grey's Anatomy Set
As Hollywood continues its push towards electric vehicle production, a surprising new partnership between Rivian and the long-running medical drama Grey's Anatomy has rolled off the line. The tech giant has collaborated with the popular TV show to create a custom, eco-friendly ambulance designed specifically for on-set filming.
According to sources close to the project, Rivian partnered with Grey's Anatomy to address a major concern: preventing exhaust fumes from affecting the cast and crew. By adapting their Commercial Van into an electric ambulance, Rivian aimed to not only reduce environmental impact but also create a safer working environment.
The custom "vanbulance" boasts several modifications, including rear double doors instead of traditional roll-up mechanisms, allowing for greater flexibility in capturing interior shots without disrupting the workflow. The vehicle's walls and roof panels can be easily removed, giving filmmakers more creative freedom to capture the desired angles. Additionally, Rivian incorporated a side entry into the cargo area, enhancing accessibility.
However, it appears that this collaboration extends beyond mere production convenience. According to insiders, Rivian worked closely with the Huntington Beach Fire Department and the Los Angeles Fire Department to inform the interior layout of the ambulance, ensuring that its design met real-world requirements. "Their feedback was invaluable in understanding how first responders actually use their vehicles," a Rivian spokesperson revealed.
The electric ambulance has already made its debut on Grey's Anatomy, with its first appearance on November 13, 2025. However, it took center stage this week when Rivian announced the partnership and highlighted its innovative design.
This collaboration highlights Hollywood's growing commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility, even in production settings that often require extensive equipment.

you know what's really interesting about this whole thing? like they're not just making an electric ambulance for greys anatomy, it's also a test run for real-life emergency services 
. think about it, rivian is working closely with the fire department to design this thing, that's some pretty shady stuff 
. what if this is actually a marketing ploy for their electric vehicles? 
i mean, who needs a hospital setting when you've got a tv show and some Hollywood magic? 
and have you noticed how convenient it is that they're making all these eco-friendly changes now? what's the real motive here? 
I'm so loving this eco-friendly move by Rivian & Grey's Anatomy! It's awesome that they're prioritizing the cast & crew's safety while also reducing their carbon footprint 
The custom "vanbulance" looks super cool with those rear double doors 
and removable panels - it's like a mini-production studio on wheels 
Can't wait to see more of this innovative design in action! 
Also, kudos to Rivian for working closely with the fire departments to ensure their feedback was incorporated into the design 
This collab is a perfect example of Hollywood's commitment to sustainability & it's so inspiring to see big brands taking steps towards a greener future 
.
The custom "vanbulance" is a genius move, allowing filmmakers to capture more realistic shots without compromising safety. It's heartening to see companies prioritizing both production convenience and environmental responsibility 
but seriously, this partnership between Rivian and Grey's is awesome. its all about reducing waste and being eco-friendly even on set. plus who knew ambulances could be so stylish 
it shows that hollywood is really stepping up its game when it comes to sustainability 
what about the actual storyline? are they gonna be filming medical emergencies with a custom-made ambulance on set? 
it seems more like an ad campaign for Rivian than a practical solution... btw, how much did this partnership cost? 
. This collaboration is just another example of how Hollywood is pushing the boundaries in sustainability, and I'm excited to see more like it 
. This partnership is like, totally on point and I'm all about it 
can't wait to watch more of those electric ambulance scenes 
I mean, I'm glad they're trying to reduce their carbon footprint or whatever, but does it have to be so flashy? And what's with the side entry into the cargo area? Isn't that just going to get in the way of anything on set? 
The walls and roof panels being removable is cool, I guess... but can't they just make a standard ambulance for once? 
also i love how they incorporated side doors and removable panels for creative freedom - game changer for filmmaking!
