GRDF
As an expert in biogas, GRDF, a subsidiary of Engie, is a key player in the Green Deliriver project initiated by SEGULA Technologies – a project now supported by the shipowner Coalis and backed by a consortium of partners. Consisting of a 1,000-ton capacity barge and its hybrid electric-biogas pusher, Green Deliriver is an innovative and environmentally friendly river freight logistics solution that aims to transport goods by water to the heart of urban centers. GRDF has been a member of the consortium since 2018 and supplies the Green Deliriver with biomethane. Thanks to the use of this local and renewable energy, the Green Deliriver will emit five times less CO2 than a truck.
As a European specialist in refrigerated vehicles, the Lamberet Group stands out for its unique know-how in the design and production of temperature-controlled bodies. In 2021, Lamberet presented the Frigolight refrigerated utility truck at Solutrans, the result of a close collaboration with SEGULA. The objective of the project was to lighten the vehicle, increase its payload and improve its environmental performance. Mission accomplished: by working on the design of the vehicle and integrating new composite materials, the project teams enabled Frigolight to gain 25% in weight and consequently reduce its fuel consumption, while maintaining its thermal and mechanical performance, as well as improving the recyclability and reusability of components.
