Serviti is displaying its VaeVam Autonomous Aeromedical Evacuation Vehicle this week at LABACE 2026. The unit can operate as a road vehicle to respond to public medical emergencies, such as major disease outbreaks, but can also be carried inside large transport aircraft such as the Embraer KC-390 operated by Brazil’s air force.

According to Marcos Campos, the Brazilian company has developed the unit to deal with major biological risks such as the need to isolate Ebola patients. He explained to AIN that the VaeVam’s battery-electric power system can sustain the equipment for up to 10 hours, allowing it to operate entirely independently of the aircraft in which it is carried.
