Electric Truck

Shoprite Group says it is the first retailer in South Africa to pilot a heavy-duty fully-electric truck in its fleet.

Shoprite's Checkers Hyper-branded Scania Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) boasts nine batteries and solar panels fitted to its roof.

These help support a fully-electric cooling system for its refrigerated carriage, which can fit approximately 16 pallets.

Shoprite said the truck could drive around 350km on a single charge and would be used for local deliveries.

It will be recharged with renewable energy generated by Shoprite’s existing solar installations, which the company recently announced had grown so large it could cover 20 soccer fields.

Shoprite Group chief supply chain officer Andrew Havinga said the acquisition of the company’s first fully-electric truck was one of the ways it aimed to increase the energy efficiency of its fleet and reduce its environmental impact.

The truck will be driven by 28-year-old Robin Jooste from Mitchell’s Plain in Cape Town, pictured below alongside Shoprite CEO Pieter Engelbrecht (middle picture).

Glow in the Dark

“When exposed to bright (day) light, the signage can absorb and store particles,” Shoprite explained.

“This stored energy is again emitted when its dark, resulting in a glow.”
