The investment, which was led by BGF, will accelerate the rollout of the low carbon alternative to diesel powered refrigeration across the UK and Europe.

Sunswap’s Endurance transport refrigeration unit is a fully electric solution that combines advanced battery technology, solar power, and rapid charging. Sunswap’s technology has already proven its value in commercial trials with industry giants such as Tesco and Müller, where it demonstrated superior performance and a lower total cost of ownership compared to traditional diesel units. The company’s growing customer base includes notable names such as equipment services provider TIP Group and shipping and logistics giant DFDS.
