Solar on alternative fuel trucks
About the Pilot
Ten trucks are being tested across Sweden from Luleå to Skåne: 240 Wp systems on 4 HVO and 4 LBG trucks, and 320 Wp systems on 2 LBG trucks. Both Scania and Volvo models are included, with real-time monitoring via Fleet Tracker.
Why Solar on Alternative Fuels
DHL has already cut emissions through electrification and biofuels. This pilot tests whether solar can deliver additional efficiency gains on cleaner fuel platforms — building on proven results from diesel fleets.
What We Expect
The pilot will measure fuel efficiency, energy production and operational reliability across Sweden’s varied climate over 12 months.
This is the first known test of solar technology on alternative fuel trucks.
TESTIMONIAL
“Already today we have reduced our greenhouse gas emissions thanks to electric and biofuel vehicles in our transport network. Now we are taking another step by piloting advanced solar panels together with Green Energy.”
