Green Energy and DHL Freight Sweden have initiated a pilot project to evaluate solar panels on trucks powered<\/strong> by alternative fuels. \n alternative fuels<\/a>\n<\/strong>. The trial, which will run for 12 months, is being carried out on ten vehicles on routes from Lule\u00e5 to Sk\u00e5ne, under varying weather conditions. <\/p>\n\n

Solar panels on trucks for lower fuel consumption<\/h2>\n\n

The trucks involved, Scania and Volvo models, run on hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) and liquefied biogas. \n liquefied biogas<\/a>\n<\/strong> (LBG). Each unit is equipped with thin-film solar panels. \n CIGS<\/g>\n<\/g> developed by Green Energy. This technology powers onboard components such as refrigeration and lifting platforms<\/strong>, reducing the demand on the alternator and consequently fuel usage. <\/p>\n\n

The installed systems include 240 Wp configurations on eight trucks and 320 Wp on two others, all connected to a proprietary load controller and the Fleet Tracker platform, which allows real-time performance monitoring<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Previous results and expectations for cleaner fleets<\/h2>\n\n

According to Green Energy, the technology has already achieved reductions of between 4% and 7%<\/strong> in fuel consumption and CO\u2082 emissions in diesel fleets. Now the goal is to validate that impact in units that use cleaner energies such as \n HVO<\/a>\n<\/strong> and LBG, with the expectation of replicating or surpassing the benefits previously obtained. <\/p>\n\n

DHL Freight Sweden Sustainability Manager Ylva \u00d6hrnell stressed that this pilot is a natural extension of its decarbonization initiatives. <\/p>\n\n

\n

We already operate electric and biofuel vehicles. Incorporating solar energy allows us to explore an additional layer of operational efficiency and sustainability. <\/p>\nHe stated.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

Technology designed for heavy haulage<\/h2>\n\n

The solar panels used are specifically designed for heavy mobility applications. They are ultralight, fire and weather resistant, and fit on roofs without compromising vehicle aerodynamics. Companies such as FlixBus, PostNord and DFDS have already tested similar solutions with positive results. <\/p>\n\n

For Green Energy, this collaboration represents a strategic step towards the cross-cutting application of solar energy in all types of fleets, beyond diesel. The pilot with DHL Freight Sweden is a concrete example of how solar technology can be integrated with alternative fuels to achieve more sustainable logistics operations. <\/p>\n\n
