💡We get to work with so many incredible innovators developing solutions that could transform the transportation sector! 🙌On World Sustainable Transportation Day, we'd like to shed some light on some of our innovators who have created products that support the sustainability efforts of the transportation sector. ⚡To transport temperature-controlled goods, fleets have to rely on burning diesel for power, negatively impacting the environment. As a solution, Westhill Innovation Inc created the Sunshifter, bolt-on panels for refrigerated trailers and box trucks, enabling fleet owners to harness the sun's power to continuously charge their EV and hybrid units. Westhill Innovations joined us at the 2024 FTMS conference to share industry insights and talk about some of the challenges innovators face in the sector.
