Euser selects Sunswap Endurance refrigeration system to improve zero-emission cold chain operations
Key takeaways
- Royal Euser adopted electric refrigeration to cut emissions, reduce noise, and improve urban cold chain operations.
- Sunswap Endurance runs up to 24 hours frozen and reduces costs by up to 81% compared to diesel units.
- Solar-assisted charging and real-time data give fleets better efficiency and visibility across refrigerated operations.
Royal Euser recently selected the Sunswap Endurance transport refrigeration unit for its cold chain operations. The company, which is one of the Netherlands’ largest logistics service providers, operates more than 500 trucks and delivers chilled and frozen goods for major food retailers and foodservice operators.
The Endurance unit replaces diesel-powered refrigeration with an electric system supported by trailer-top solar charging. The system is designed to support daily delivery routes through city centers, residential areas, and depot networks, reducing emissions and lowering noise levels.
The unit can operate for up to 24 hours frozen on a single charge and up to two months in chilled applications. It also provides continuous performance data, giving operators visibility across fleet operations. Operators using the system have reported up to an 81% reduction in refrigeration operating costs compared to diesel units.
The refrigeration system is PIEK compliant for low noise output, making it suitable for night deliveries and urban routes. It eliminates diesel engine use at loading bays and along delivery routes, reducing emissions in areas where trucks frequently operate.
"Our drivers and depot teams are at the centre of everything we do,” Bae Euser, Euser general director, said. “When we looked at what the next step in our fleet should be, we weren't just asking about emissions or cost—we were asking what makes the working day better for the people in it, and what it means for the customers and communities we serve. Sunswap Endurance answers both of those questions. It's built electric from the start, it performs, and it fits how our operations actually run."
