Tip Continues Its Support For Customers Electrification Journeys, Trialling A Solar-Powered Refrigerated Trailer

TIP has furthered its drive to decarbonisation with the 12-month trial in the UK of a zero-emission, battery and solar-powered transport refrigeration unit (TRU) fitted to one of its reefer trailers.

Named ‘Endurance’ and designed and manufactured by Sunswap, the UK-based ‘clean-tech’ business, this innovative development sees solar panels fitted to the roof of the trailer which, in combination with a first-of-its-kind modular battery and highly energy-efficient system, provides an emission free solution to power the trailer’s refrigeration unit.
