LF&E Refrigerated Transport adopts Marshall Fleet Solutions’ 100% solar powered Titan system.
LF&E has been exploring a range of options to electrify its fleet while still avoiding practicality issues such as range and charging infrastructure. Since the company has already been working extensively with Marshall Fleet Solutions since 2010, partnering on fleet electrification was a natural fit for all involved.
“We are delighted to be adding a solar powered fridge van to our fleet,” says LF&E CEO Jason Buckley. “Given the practical requirements and demanding operating conditions of our fleet, we needed to find an approach that fits our specific needs. Marshall Fleet Solutions helped us explore a range of options and supported us from start to finish.”
LF&E opted to install the Titan system on a diesel vehicle initially, as this will still substantially reduce CO2 emissions by eliminating the need having to have the vehicles running on “Ignition Key Out” or being plugged in whilst loading or on ferries. The next stage for the company would be to install such a system on a hybrid van, followed ultimately by an electric van. This approach underscores the flexibility of the Titan product, which provides a perfect option for fleet operators who may need to shift incrementally to electrification.
