The solar-panel biodiesel truck also features a robust solar system, comprising two 500-550W solar panels, which provides a full day (8 hours) of operation on a single charge. This system incorporates two 240V DC batteries for primary power, a 24V DC redundant battery for backup, and a dedicated 24V DC battery to power the air conditioning system.

The new trucks are equipped with ATEX-certified on-grid Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Panels, which generate 1.3 megawatt-hours of solar energy annually. This translates to a reduction of approximately 6.6 tonnes of carbon emissions.
