Our take

Refrigerated transport for food and other goods generates an enormous amount of air and noise pollution. Sunswap solves this problem by developing zero-emission transport refrigeration.

Sunswap was founded by an experienced team of engineers who have leveraged their expertise to create a clean and cost-effective solution for freight companies. The company have received a multiple grants from Innovate UK and have recently closed a funding round to further their R&D, which is testament to the potential of their technology.

Sunswap's technology has recently been adopted by logistics giant DFDS. This lucrative partnership is an important step for the company. Securing more high-profile contracts will enable Sunswap to scale effectively.
