Protran Solutions, Australia’s leading transport refrigeration specialist, is bringing a world-class innovation to local roads: the Sunswap Endurance, a solar-powered refrigerated trailer that keeps food cold without a drop of diesel needed.

The Sunswap Endurance is no prototype — it’s already a proven performer, delivering fresh food for major UK and EU retailers.

Now, through Protran Solutions’ exclusive Australian distribution partnership, the technology is finally arriving where it was arguably always destined to thrive.

The technology is elegantly simple. Solar panels mounted across the trailer roof continuously charge onboard batteries, which power the refrigeration unit. The batteries can also be topped up from the grid overnight. The result? Zero diesel. Zero tailpipe emissions. Just Australian sunshine keeping milk, meat and vegetables at the right temperature — all the way from farm to supermarket shelf. 

“Australia’s sunshine is perfect for this technology,” said Michael Lowe, CEO of Sunswap. 

Protran Solutions, an Australian transport refrigeration specialist with over 30 years of industry experience — has secured the exclusive rights to distribute the Sunswap Endurance across Australia. 

“Australian sunshine has always been a challenge for diesel refrigeration — the harder it beats down, the harder those units work, and the more fuel they burn,” said Grant Turner, General Manager of Protran Solutions.

“The Sunswap Endurance flips that equation entirely. More sun means more power, exactly when you need it most. The system is so simple. No need for fuel tanks, no need for e-axles, and no payload weight disadvantage for batteries. It truly is the next generation of cold chain green solutions for the Australian market.”

“Protran is proud to be the company bringing this world-class technology to Australian operators.” Grant added.

The Sunswap Endurance is manufactured at Sunswap’s facility in Surrey, UK, where production is scaling rapidly to meet growing international demand across six markets. In Australia, Protran Solutions will manage the full supply chain (from delivery and installation through to ongoing maintenance and cold-chain compliance) ensuring operators get not just a world-class product, but world-class support.
