ERH Refrigerated Transport just ran 816km on Australia's busiest highway. 15hrs zero diesel refrigeration with Sunswap Endurance. 46% battery remaining.

- -22°C Frozen chips
- 816km.
- 15 hours of refrigerated temperature control.
- 54% battery used.
Powered entirely by battery-electric with solar assist.

Australia's busiest freight corridor.

The Hume Highway (M31). 4,800 trucks a day. No meaningful rail alternative. The ultimate real-world test for any new transport technology. The Sunswap Endurance passed!

ERH Refrigerated Transport aren't a company that talks about sustainability…they back it with action. Reducing their carbon footprint through eco-friendly technology is a stated core value. This trial delivered exactly that. Real freight. Real conditions. Real results.

Australia's cold chain has a diesel problem.

Every diesel refrigeration unit on a route like this can burn between 18 - 30 litres of diesel per trip. Multiply that across the thousands of refrigerated trailers moving freight between farms, processors, cold storage facilities and distribution centres every day, and diesel refrigeration becomes a significant — and largely avoidable — source of fuel consumption, emissions and maintenance cost across Australian freight.
The Sunswap Endurance eliminates the diesel refrigeration engine entirely — without touching cold chain performance.
The question isn't whether this transition happens. The question is who gets there first.
Operators who trial now build the operational data, the emissions credentials and the commercial advantage before sustainability reporting requirements and customer demands make the decision for them.

Now available in Australia.
The Sunswap Endurance is no longer a future technology. It's here. Available for purchase today through Protran Solutions, the exclusive Australian distribution partner for Sunswap.
