Vehicle fleet to be equipped with solar panels
DHL Express is installing solar panel units on 67 trucks within its pickup and delivery fleet in USA. The solar technology is expected to reduce CO2 emissions for each vehicle by 1,000 kg per year, also lowering both fuel and maintenance costs.
Trailar’s solar system generates electricity from sunlight, and will be used to charge the battery, power lift gates and other ancillary equipment. This reduces the load on the alternator and, as a result, fuel consumption.
An integrated, state-of-the-art telematics system provides detailed information on the efficiency of the entire system through web-based reporting, including battery health, charging of ancillary equipment, overall fuel and C02 savings and more. (ben)
