Sustainability & Impact

Driving Transport Refrigeration Towards a Zero-Emission Future

Real fleets. Real savings. Real zero-emission delivery. See the environmental impact.

The Problem

Technology Left Behind

While trucks go electric, transport refrigeration has been left behind. Over a million trailers still rely on old, mechanical, highly polluting diesel technology.

12 Million Tonnes of CO₂

Generated annually

400x More Particulates

Than trucks

Noise Pollution

Constant noise in urban areas

What The Industry is Saying

"Responsible business is a key part of what we do. We are always looking for innovative solutions that support our business without being at odds with the ecosystem. We believe this collaboration with Sunswap will bring that key combination of environmental and operational benefit."
Alistair Leckie
General Manager
Samworth Brothers
"Beyond the sustainability gains, Sunswap's technology proved incredibly easy to integrate into normal operations without workflow adjustments. We didn't need to think twice about the routes we put it on. Drivers noted it was much quieter than diesel units during overnight residential deliveries."
Brian Sagaseta
Managing Director
Chiltern Distribution
"Many low- and zero-emission prototypes have been tested on Tesco delivery routes. We found the Sunswap system to be the standout for performance and its unique ability to complete our complete range of delivery cycles."

"I was initially sceptical that any battery-powered refrigeration unit would meet the high demands we put on our equipment. We were pleasantly surprised with the performance and how it handled the requirements for delivering fresh produce. I'm pleased to see Sunswap have created true competition for diesel fridges."
Lee Jupiter
CEO
Freshlinc
"It was a real shaker in the marketplace. With our comprehensive sustainability strategy, we're looking at innovation that can drive down our consumption in terms of fuel and CO2. Being electric, we don't have to use diesel – it's simply plugged into the mains, and when the sun's out, it gets charged."
