RG Hyr
Solar powers refrigerated rental trucks, even when parked
About RG Hyr
RG Hyr is one of Sweden’s leading truck and trailer rental providers, offering refrigerated and frozen vehicles to hauliers nationwide.
Eliminates battery-related service calls
Keeps batteries maintained between rentals
Innovation that benefits customers
Extra power for both truck cab and refrigeration unit
Challenge
As a rental provider, RG Hyr’s vehicles change hands often and can sit at the depot between rentals. Refrigeration units that won’t start due to battery problems mean unnecessary service calls. Vehicles also need regular connection to maintenance chargers while they wait between rentals to stay ready.
Solution
RG Hyr is equipping its rental trucks with solar. One example: a new Mercedes Actros ProCabin, built for the Nordic High Capacity Transport (HCT) combination, is fitted with a Green Energy 285 Wp Solar System. An extension set powers both the 24V truck cab and the 12V trailer circuit from a single installation.
Built for Rental Fleets
For a rental provider, solar means fewer callouts about refrigeration units that won’t start, and no need to connect vehicles to maintenance chargers while they wait between rentals – even parked for a couple of weeks at a time. That’s all added upside for RG Hyr’s own customers.
