The Future of Refrigerated Trailers
The concept of a trailer with 12 solar panels on the roof is revolutionizing the transportation industry. Based on solar energy, this innovative system, known as Sunswap Endurance, is set to be more cost-effective than traditional diesel generators.
The electric refrigeration unit of Sunswap Endurance features a modular battery for the electric motor, completely eliminating the need for an internal combustion engine. The trailer is equipped with twelve photovoltaic panels covering the entire roof, supported by a control module for increased reliability.
The first trailer with this groundbreaking technology has been leased to a major British food industry company by TIP. Over the next 12 months, the solar panels are expected to provide electricity for 80% of the generator’s operation, with the remaining 20% coming from an external power source.
This innovative solution will result in an impressive 80-90% reduction in cooling costs compared to traditional methods. Sunswap Endurance is not just a step towards sustainability; it is a leap towards a greener future for refrigerated trailers.
