At Royal Burgers, we view this development as a logical progression towards more efficient logistics. Research by SolarMoves demonstrates that vehicle-integrated solar panels (VIPV) can substantially alleviate pressure on the electricity grid by generating energy precisely where it is consumed.
The potential is particularly significant within the logistics sector: trailers and trucks possess extensive roof surface area and exhibit high, continuous energy consumption. This establishes a robust business case, characterized by short payback periods and a direct impact on operational costs.
We already apply this principle with our Double Deck trailers. By transporting more volume per trip, we reduce the number of kilometers traveled and, consequently, energy consumption per unit. Combined with solar panels, this creates a powerful solution: fewer trips, lower grid load, and another step toward sustainable, scalable logistics.
The direction is clear: transport and energy efficiency converge on the vehicle itself.
