Energy Solutions were thrilled to see GBRacing launch their new ZERO-e sustainability project to coincide with World Environment Day, a United Nations Environment initiative that encourages individuals and businesses to learn, share and act on the ways in which we can all have a positive impact on the environment.
GBRacing joins the commitment to increase sustainability and environmental responsibility across motorsport when they unveiled the first ever self-sufficient, sustainable support vehicle in the World Superbike paddock. The Euro-6-compliant Mercedes Actros truck runs entirely on solar power for the duration of each World Superbike event, contributing towards lower energy use at each of the circuits it will visit throughout the year.
Utilising the latest in solar and battery technology, the team can now stay ‘off grid’ for the entirety of World Superbike events: from cooking to showering, all the way through to powering laptops and even ensuring guests’ beers are kept cool, the complex system of solar panels and batteries will provide sufficient energy for the team to live comfortably for at least four days.
This pioneering achievement was accomplished through close collaboration with MG Energy Systems, Solara Energy, Energy Solutions and Victron Energy, who all provided invaluable expertise and enthusiasm towards this unique project.
