Sunswap has been recognised for its work in sustainable transport refrigeration, winning the Innovation of the Year Award at the Made in Britain Impact Awards 2024.
The award celebrates British manufacturing excellence, with judges looking for companies making a measurable impact through innovative solutions. Sunswap’s battery and solar-powered transport refrigeration unit, Endurance, impressed the judges with its fresh approach to a complex industry challenge.
The judges commented “Sunswap’s mission to ‘decarbonise the global cold chain’ exemplifies their innovative impact. They presented impressive impact data and performance, showing the potential for UK-led innovation to drive global progress towards a more sustainable future.”
“This award recognises what British engineering does best – solving difficult problems through innovative design and precise engineering,” said Michael Lowe, CEO of Sunswap. “As we move into full-scale production and begin commercial deployments, this acknowledgement reinforces our commitment to developing world-class technology here in the UK.”
The Made in Britain Impact Awards highlight the very best of UK manufacturing across categories including innovation, sustainability, and leadership.
As Sunswap scales up operations to meet growing demand from transport operators, this recognition comes at a significant moment for the company. The first commercial Endurance units are now entering service with major logistics companies, proving that sustainable transport refrigeration, engineered and manufactured in Britain, can meet the industry’s demanding requirements.
