Solar energy to cool food

The Swiss online supermarket Coop.ch is purchasing 30 new vans from manufacturer Man.

The vehicles are equipped with solar panels for the electric cooling of the food, which is expected to save the company around 1,000 litres of diesel per year.

The 30 new Man TGE 3.140 4x2F SB vans are part of a fleet renewal programme that includes a total of around 250 vans with a gross weight of up to 3.5 t.
