Sunswap and MAN Truck & Bus have teamed up to conduct the first test drive of the new TGX 4×2 eTruck electric truck, accompanied by the all-electric Endurance refrigeration system. This event represents a crucial breakthrough towards sustainability in the cold chain, showing the effectiveness of combining an electric vehicle with an equally environmentally friendly refrigeration solution.
Endurance and TGX 4×2 eTruck electric truck
Endurance, the transport refrigeration system developed by Sunswap, has been successfully tested by several customers and will soon be widely deployed in the UK and Europe. With the ability to operate effectively in different modes such as freezing, multiple refrigeration and standard refrigeration. In addition, this system does not affect the truck’s range, but rather offers an optimal solution for both diesel vehicles and electric vehicles.
For its part, MAN Truck & Bus has introduced its TGX 4×2 eTruck, an TGX 4×2 eTruck electric truckinitially launched at the IAA International Motor Show in Hannover last year. This truck stands out for its ability to fully recharge in just 45 minutes and achieve a range of up to 800 km, setting a new standard in long-distance heavy transport.
