\nTruckers usually spend long hours on the road in their rigs. Driving down those never ending dusty highways with the sun blazing on your back isn\u2019t all that a pleasant experience. To keep their drive cool, most trucks are equipped with air-conditioning systems. Well here\u2019s a cleaner and greener way to keep the air in truck cabs cooled, and air-conditioning system powered by the sun. Developed jointly by ICL Co Ltd, Mitsubishi Chemical Corp and Nippon Fruehauf Co Ltd, the system is essentially an idling-stop air conditioning system that uses photovoltaic (PV) batteries. Known as the \u201ci-Cool\u201d, the system involves the mounting of PV cell modules on a trucks container. Using an air-conditioning system like i-Cool in a stationary truck could help save about 1.8L of oil per hour.<\/p>\n
\nWith a bunch of potentialities, the i-Cool system is sure to catch on. We\u2019d like to see a few solar panels atop buses too!
