DHL puts solar panels on trucks (+ video)

To generate electricity, modular photovoltaic mats are placed on the roof of the vehicle. They are connected to the vehicle’s battery or to the battery of generators. Initially, DHL is introducing this system with Trailar technology on box trucks, to power the tailgates, refrigeration or air conditioning, for example. The technology can also be applied to trailers, vans and even CubiCycle cargo bikes.
