Solar-Powered Trucks Can Tackle Refrigeration Emissions

The transportation of food to local supermarkets typically takes place with the help of enormous fleets of diesel fuel-cooled trucks that burn up to a gallon of diesel per hour at the same time as releasing over 22 pounds of CO2 into the atmosphere.

In 2015, for example, a report conducted in the European Union showed that refrigerated transport vehicles releasedcarbon emissions than regular vehicles. eNow and XL Fleet believe they can help to tackle this issue with their new battery system that largely powers the refrigerators and utilities such as air conditioning — though not the trucks themselves — using solar power.

What happens to those solar panels at EOL? Not very environmentally friendly then are they.
