Data from the truck

Follow how our truck with solar cells is doing

Combustion of fossil fuels causes emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), which in turn negatively affects the climate through global warming. A large part of the fossil fuels that are burned can be traced to the transport sector. Running vehicles partly with electricity from solar cells could reduce the direct CO2 emissions from the transport sector.

On this page, you can follow how much solar energy is generated by the solar cells on the truck in the project when the truck is in operation, and how much less CO2 emissions the truck has compared to the previous truck that was used for the same purpose.

Collected data from the truck

In addition to the data on solar energy production and CO2 savings, which you can see below, you will find other interesting data from the truck collected on this page: https://thingspeak.com/channels/2632898

Solar energy production

The amount of solar energy generated by the solar cells on the truck when the truck is in operation:

Carbon dioxide saving

The amount of reduced CO2 emissions compared to the corresponding truck without electric drive and solar cells:
