Leatherhead, UK: Sunswap, a provider of solar-powered refrigeration, is expanding overseas due to a new order from Netherlands-based leasing company TIP Group.
Sunswap will be supplying TIP with a “minimum 20 Endurance transport refrigeration units”. Endurance is the world’s first purpose- built battery and solar-powered transport refrigeration unit, a sustainable alternative to diesel transport fridges, Sunswap says.
Sunswap chief executive Michael Lowe said: “We are delighted TIP has recognised Sunswap’s potential to transform refrigerated transport across Europe, marking a new phase of our expansion. It’s not possible to change the world alone, so with visionary companies like TIP, we are accelerating the European cold chain’s shift towards a zero-emission future.”
Rogier Laan, vice president sales and marketing at TIP, said: “Sunswap’s refrigeration system is unique and this partnership allows us to offer our customers another sustainable solution for their refrigerated trailer fleet management needs. We are excited to be at the forefront of the industry in implementing clean technology to reduce our customers’ carbon footprint.”
Sunswap begins full-scale production in March.
