The Future of Cold Chain Is Running on Australian Sunshine
Protran Solutions brings the world's most capable solar-electric transport refrigeration unit to TruckShowX 2026, and the results speak for themselves.
Australian fleet operators are under pressure to cut emissions, reduce fuel costs, and prove their sustainability credentials. The Sunswap Endurance, a fully integrated solar-electric transport refrigeration unit, isn't a concept or a pilot programme. It's a commercially proven technology that has already completed the world's longest zero-emission solar-charged refrigerated transport trial: a 1,671-kilometre return journey between Sydney and Brisbane, finishing with 62 per cent battery remaining.
A more recent 1,200-kilometre trial through Sydney, Canberra, and Griffith returned 67 per cent battery life, maintaining a constant temperature of -5°C across a 36-hour cycle on Australian roads.
Protran Solutions will showcase the Sunswap Endurance at TruckShowX 2026 in the Hunter Valley, 18–19 May, and take to the main stage on Tuesday 19 May as part of the "Innovative Energy Security" session.
If you're a fleet operator, logistics manager, or cold chain professional, this is worth your attention.
