LIGHT TO THE FUTURE * UK - A fridge fleet, a solar revamp
Reed Boardall gives its, and Biglorryblog says let the sunshine forever!
London,UK -Biglorryblog -23 April 2008: -- Now here's an interesting little story that shines a light on energy savings... Reed Boardall Group, one of the UK's largest temperature controlled fleets, delivering goods worth around £10m has just carried out a major fleet replacement programme that includes 62 new trailers and 40 new MAN tractors... Of the trailers, 50 are single deck with a 26-pallet capacity while the remaining 12 are 40-pallet double-deck trailers with lifting decks – a concept which Reed Boardall pioneered with Gray & Adams nearly ten years ago. All the trailers have the new fuel-efficient Carrier fridge units. But by far the most interesting bit is that on top of the sloping aerodynamic roof there's a clever little solar panel to charge the lifting deck battery.... 
“The solar panels are photovoltaic,” Denzil Cooke, Reed Boardall’s compliance manager tells me... Actually I seem to recall that Sainsbury developed a reefer trailer where the whole roof area was made up of solar panels... Labels: solar panels
