Australia’s first all-electric solar reefer

British manufacturer Sunswap has introduced its Endurance fully electric, solar-powered reefers to Australian roads through an exclusive partnership with transport refrigeration specialist Protran Solutions.

Australia becomes Sunswap’s sixth international market, following deployments across the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Chile, where its technology is already operating daily for major retailers and logistics operators, including Tesco, DLG, Ocado and Noble Foods.

“Operators are choosing Endurance because it handles demanding operations better than diesel while cutting costs dramatically,” said Sunswap CEO Michael Lowe

“The environmental benefit is the outcome, not the compromise. That’s what’s driving adoption globally – fleets get better performance, lower costs, and zero emissions. The partnership with Protran brings that to Australian operators.”

According to Sunswap, international logistics providers have recorded operating cost reductions of up to 81 per cent, alongside simplified maintenance when compared with traditional diesel reefers.
