Royal Burgers enhances transport sustainability by directly harnessing the power of the sun in vehicles. With SolarOnTop, solar panels are integrated onto the roof of trailers, leading to significantly lower fuel consumption, reduced CO₂ emissions, and enhanced reliability of trucks and trailers.
Sustainable and Profitable Solutions
Implementing sustainable practices need not be a costly endeavor. On the contrary, with a strategic approach, it transforms into a self-financing investment. Integrating solar panels onto trailers not only enhances transport sustainability but also boosts profitability by significantly reducing fuel consumption and improving operational reliability.
Solar Power: Fuel Savings in Transport
Solar panels integrated into trailers generate sustainable energy both during transit and while stationary. This solar power directly supplies trailer-dependent systems, including refrigeration, lighting, and monitoring, thereby alleviating the load on the primary generator or truck engine. The tangible benefits are immediate: a substantial reduction in fuel consumption per journey and a significant decrease in CO₂ emissions.
Proven Field Performance
The impact is measurable and compelling. For users, it already covers 60-70% of the energy demand for trailer-bound systems in the first year. This means the alternator operates less, leading to reduced fuel consumption and an extended lifespan for trucks and batteries. A clear advantage for both customers and drivers.
By reducing dependence on fossil fuels, transporters make their operations not only more sustainable but also more cost-efficient. This technology has been proven with leading clients such as Action and is operational on numerous trucks and trailers across Europe.
Enhanced Reliability Through Smart Solar Energy
The advantages of solar panels on trailers extend beyond mere fuel savings. By independently powering systems, trailer reliability increases. Cooling systems continue to function even when the trailer is stationary. Monitoring and tracking operate continuously without battery drainage. This translates to fewer malfunctions, reduced downtime, and enhanced assurance for drivers and customers. The alternator operates for fewer hours, which also contributes to increased uptime for trucks and batteries.
The solar panels are lightweight, robust, and suitable for both new builds and existing trailers. This makes the sustainability of transport accessible without significant investments or operational adjustments.
Smart Synergy for Maximum Impact
When combined with Royal’s Double Deck trailers and smart systems Burgers , the result is a powerful solution: greater load capacity per trip, fewer transport runs, lower fuel consumption, and smarter energy use. The impact on efficiency, costs, and the environmental footprint is immediately noticeable.
With IM Efficiency as a partner in solar panels for transport, Royal Burgers demonstrates that sustainable innovation primarily revolves around practical solutions that are already effective today. This involves no promises about the future, but rather proven technology that makes transport smarter, more reliable, more economical, and cleaner.
