Sunswap Secures £17.3 Million to Transform Cold Chain Logistics
Sunswap, a promising clean-tech startup based in London, UK, is making significant strides in the effort to decarbonise cold chain logistics. Recently, the company raised an impressive £17.3 million in a funding round that demonstrates strong investor confidence in its mission. This round was spearheaded by BGF, with additional contributions from notable firms including Shell Ventures, the Dutch venture capital fund Move Energy, and existing financial backers such as Barclays and the Clean Growth Fund. This influx of capital marks a pivotal moment for Sunswap, as it aims to expand its operational and technological capabilities to better serve its innovative cause.
The company's chief focus is on the development and production of its pioneering transport refrigeration units (TRUs), which are designed to be entirely zero-emission.
Under the leadership of CEO Mike Lowe, Sunswap is fully committed to revolutionizing the cold chain logistics industry through its flagship product, the Endurance. Founded in 2020, the company’s vision revolves around creating a sustainable alternative to traditional refrigeration systems, which heavily rely on diesel fuel. With Endurance, there is no need for diesel at all; instead, the unit harnesses cutting-edge battery technology and solar panels cleverly integrated on the trailer’s roof, offering an eco-friendly solution that sets a new standard in the field.
This innovative approach not only aligns with global sustainability goals but also showcases the potential for technology to play a transformative role in reducing carbon emissions in logistics. As Sunswap continues to pave the way for cleaner, more efficient cold chain logistics, the future looks bright for this ambitious startup. With the backing of reputable investors and a clear vision laid out, Sunswap is well-positioned to accelerate its impact on the industry while contributing to the fight against climate change.
