Solar panels on trucks

Parcels are mainly sent by burning fossil fuels, which causes huge CO2 emissions with a negative effect on the environment. The increasing number of online orders means that more packages have to be sent and that more trucks have to be used to deliver these packages to the customer. More trucks means more kilometers and therefore more CO2 emissions. E-Fulfillment Hub offers a solution using solar panels on trucks.

Solar panels on trucks reduce CO2 emissions

Installing solar panels on trucks offers a solution for the gigantic CO2 emissions of trucks. Trucks will save fuel, which leads to a reduction of thousands of kilos of CO2 emissions. Making the trucks more sustainable by installing solar panels on trucks is therefore a good example of a development in the logistics sector to reduce CO2 emissions.
