REYNOLDS Catering Supplies is one of the first companies in the UK to have a fully electric Electra Commercial Vehicles’ Solar charging refrigerated trailer for urban operation.
“Electra designed a bespoke system for the trailer an 11 metre Gray & Adams unit that features Electra’s scalable fully electric system coupled with a Frigoblock EK25 electric fridge. Moreover, the system also delivers considerable benefits by adding charge from solar panels fitted on the roof,” commented Ben Smith, MD for Electra Commercial Vehicles.
Earlier in 2022, Electra’s design team formulated a method to use solar panels to charge the system, which operates the battery thermal management system, charge control systems and tail-lift operation.
