Recambiosdelcamion.com approaches the first truck powered by solar energy

Jan. 3, 2017
The German logistics operator Dachser and the German Solar Energy Institute (Fraunhofer) have started the first tests to build a truck that works with solar energy, taking advantage of the photovoltaic panels placed on the roof of the tractor and the box. The first experiments have been carried out in the German city of Ulm. The use of solar energy in professional road transport is today a utopia, but the studies that are being carried out provide environmental and sustainability solutions that are also applicable to the automotive spare parts, spare parts and accessories sector, such as the battery chargers, now on sale at reccionesdelcamion.com.

The Network Management & The company's Organization has been working on the first solar trailer model for some time. This first prototype derives from the structure of a refrigerated trailer to which an electrical storage unit, photovoltaic solar panels, temperature sensors and a function control system have been attached.

Now it is about between Dachser and Fraunhofer determine how much energy the truck's photovoltaic modules can generate annually and its viability as a "technological alternative to improve environmental sustainability", explain sources from the German institute. The experimentation phase that began this winter will make it possible to determine whether the prototype's solar panels are capable of generating up to 1,700 watts and whether they manage to maintain a stable temperature in the truck's loading area.

The power supplies will be key in the near future of the truck and professional road transport sector, as well as spare parts, spare parts, complements and accessories. In fact, batteries are gaining importance by leaps and bounds both as accumulators and feeders of the vehicle's electrical system and as fuel. The revolution is also reaching truck batteries where the Tudor brand is at the forefront of advances.
