Unlike other rescue vehicles, the modular, fully autonomous MitsubishiI.RQ is powered by a fuel-cell drive, inspired by the current high-floored 4WD variation of the light-duty Canter truck. These technologies enable it to safely conduct rescue activities in difficult situations such as snowy or mountainous areas. Body pieces can quickly be swapped depending on scenario and purposes.
The modular design means that a single vehicle is capable of responding to a variety of situations and environments. That’s not all, it comes complete with a built-in HeliDroid with a 1.8m wingspan. It can not only be used for rescue missions, but also deliver objects by transporting them in a compartment under its body. It flies autonomously and boasts a digital personality to interactively communicate with the individuals operating it, or those being helped.

Although the HeliDroid has been designed with rescue scenario in mind, it can of course be help in other situations. In combination with the lateral, on-road movement covered by existing vehicles, the HeliDroid can provide better mobility solutions to address needs that can only be solved with vertical transportation. For example, it could potentially reduce driver workload during urban deliveries, with its ability to easily cover the distance from a vehicle on the ground to an upper level of a high-rise condominium,” said Daimler.
