Eppur si mouve
In March 2023 we began our journey to launch the EPPUR SI MUOVE project in order to install solar modules on trucks, vans and buses.
This is the implementation of solar energy in trucks and other industrial vehicles designed in a way that is capable of being integrated in an efficient way. In this way we manage to increase its autonomy, reduce fuel costs, emissions and reduce noise pollution.
REASONS
- Technologically today it is possible and efficient.
- Increasing electrical consumption of modern vehicles since a lot of electricity is consumed for coffee makers, televisions, computers, refrigerators, tools, rear lifts, doors, rear doors, and the like, especially when the vehicle is stationary.
- Helping food logistics and retail companies eliminate direct emissions, reduce costs and enable sustainable supply chains without carbon emissions in addition to multiple other air pollutants, including diesel particulate matter (diesel PM), fine particles (PM2. 5), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and greenhouse gases (GHG).
- Recent changes to European legislation regarding sustainability in transport and fuels in the European Community.
- The governments of different countries are beginning to implement new tolls for trucks, some of them based on CO2 emissions.
SUSTAINABLE LOGISTICS
By installing photovoltaic panels on trucks, transportation companies can offer their customers a cleaner and more reliable service, reducing emissions and noise pollution.
VERY SHORT RETURN PERIOD
Investing in solar energy on vans, trucks and buses has a payback depending on the specific user case. In general, BIOFUTUR SOLAR TRUCK has a break-even period of 3 years, after which the technology operates with economic benefits and environmental benefits from day one.

FUEL
- Fuel savings: appliances such as air conditioning, microwave, laptop, telephone, heater and refrigerator consume a lot of electricity when parked, so most drivers charge their batteries with the engine during their break mandatory. For this reason alone it can translate into a quick return on investment in the purchase of a photovoltaic installation.
- A vehicle started once a day for 1 hour consumes approximately 2.5 liters.
- An average of 200 charging starts per year saves us 500 liters of fuel.
- BIOFUTUR SOLAR TRUCK supplies the truck with green electricity from solar panels. When driving, a lower load on the engine reduces fuel consumption. Furthermore, it becomes unnecessary to be idle to generate electricity. Less load on the engine and less idling times, together they save up to 5.5% fuel in total.
- Running the truck engine at idle to generate electricity is extremely inefficient and causes a lot of wear and tear.
BATTERIES
- When the batteries are fully charged, the vehicle’s own system disconnects the alternator while driving. This is also reflected in lower fuel consumption
- With discharged batteries: the vehicle will burn more fuel in the first minutes of engine operation.
- An alternative to expensive battery replacement.
- When the batteries are completely discharged, the panels allow them to be recharged and start the engine after a few hours of charging in the sun.
- They do not allow the battery voltage to drop to a critical value, which effectively reduces the efficiency and life of the battery.
- The batteries will not be sulfated.
- With the introduction of the Euro 6 standard, modern battery management systems cause problems under certain conditions. For example, generators are only turned on when absolutely necessary. This causes strong fluctuations in charging voltages and is detrimental to the battery’s capacity.
- Charging is done both when you are driving or when you are parked, protecting the generator and always with the batteries charged.
- Part of the annoying starting of the engine during mandatory stops to recharge the batteries is gone, expanding the use of the air conditioning also if it is stationary.
- Reduction of time in the workshop for changing batteries or other elements involved.
- Battery technology did not keep pace with technological advances in the truck, which led to batteries needing to be replaced frequently.
- The BIOFUTUR SOLAR TRUCK can be used to charge additional devices, such as lift gates and pallet trucks.
AIM
Our goal is to establish alliances with leading companies in the freight transportation sector to collaborate in the development of innovative projects for solar trucks, diesel and electric vans with designs similar to those already executed or with new brands and models. We focus on driving efficiency and sustainability, paving the way for the future of green transportation.
In the field of the transport sector, we use different meanings for the use of photovoltaic solar energy on the covers of trucks, such as: solar energy for trucks, solar panels for trucks, photovoltaic installations on trucks, solar panels on trucks, solar integration on trucks , trucks with solar roofs, solar technology for trucks, solar trucks, solar installations on trucks, or photovoltaics on trucks.
Solar energy for buses, solar panels for buses, photovoltaic installations on buses, solar panels on buses, solar integration on buses, buses with solar roofs, solar technology for buses, solar buses or photovoltaics on buses.
Solar energy for vans, solar panels for vans, photovoltaic installations in vans, solar panels in vans, solar integration in vans, vans with solar roofs, solar technology for vans, solar vans, photovoltaics in vans
Its English translations: solar energy for trucks, solar panels for trucks photovoltaic installations on trucks, solar panels on trucks, solar integration on trucks, trucks with solar roofs, solar technology for trucks.
These systems manage to reduce energy consumption, emissions and noise pollution and can be installed from 3,500 kilo vans to large trailers with loads of 44 tons.
Our products are highly versatile as they are compatible with a wide variety of brands including Mercedes, Iveco, MAN, DAF, Scania, Renault, Volvo, Ford, BMC and Fuso.
