Jan 7, 2021 at 6:58 PMThe transport company Rhyner Logistik, which is strongly committed to sustainable transport, now supplies the Swiss Denner supermarkets with a fully electric Renault Trucks D Wide Z.E. The special feature: The cooling system of the truck’s cargo area is powered by electricity from the photovoltaic system on the vehicle’s roof.
(Zurich) A fully electric 26-ton Renault Trucks D Wide Z.E. now complements the fleet of 100 trucks of the Swiss transport company Rhyner Logistik. It will now supply the Denner supermarkets in the city and the greater Zurich area in an environmentally friendly manner, protecting the quality of life of Zurich residents thanks to CO2-free and quiet driving.
To further enhance this valuable approach, Rhyner Logistik has decided to install photovoltaic panels on the cargo area to power the cooling system with green electricity. This concept is particularly suited for temperature-controlled transport, as it is precisely when outside temperatures – and thus solar radiation – are high that the cargo area needs to be maximally cooled.
Fast Charging Station Acquired
Rhyner Logistik is convinced that electromobility is the most suitable solution to achieve a neutral CO2 balance, and has also acquired a fast charging station. For optimal range, the truck is charged in the warehouse during the loading process with the goods. Since it is used in urban areas where frequent braking is necessary, recuperation allows for an energy gain of 20 to 30 percent, thus providing additional kilometers.
