Air France KLM Martinair Cargo (AFKLMP) is thrilled to sigh its renewed partnership with the Brunel Solar Personnel for the 2024 Sasol Solar Disclose in South Africa from 13 through 20 September 2024.
As partners, we hope to abet the team receive this prestigious photo voltaic tear for the fifth time! Pursuing our dedication to innovation and sustainability in transportation, AFKLMP may perhaps well be the Brunel Solar Personnel’s logistics associate for the Sasol Solar Disclose. We can sort out air transport and linked logistics for the team’s photo voltaic vehicle, the Nuna 12s.

To minimise environmental impact, AFKLMP will offset the fuel required to transfer the Nuna 12s from Amsterdam to Johannesburg with SAF (every other aviation fuel), vastly decreasing the carbon footprint of this dash. “Air France KLM Martinair Cargo is impressed by and aligned with the mission of the Sasol Solar Disclose,” acknowledged GertJan Roelands, SVP Industrial at Air France KLM Martinair Cargo.
“The airfreight enterprise faces the scenario of decreasing its carbon footprint. Our perform is to e-book innovation on this position by spearheading initiatives that involve all enterprise stakeholders.” Following the worldwide oil disaster of 1973, there modified into once rising consciousness for the environmental distress prompted by fossil fuels, sparking global efforts to manufacture replacement vitality sources.
In 1983, Danish inventor Hans Tholstrup constructed the major photo voltaic-powered vehicle and drove it across Australia, demonstrating the replacement of photo voltaic vitality. This groundbreaking fulfillment resulted in the establishment of Australia’s World Solar Disclose. In 2001, the Solar Personnel from Delft College of Technology participated in the sixth World Solar Disclose in Australia, aiming to promote sustainability and innovation. Led by Dutch astronaut Wubbo Ockels, the team impressed many with their imaginative and prescient. As Ockels famously acknowledged, “There may perhaps be totally one earth. And there will not be any such thing as a spare.”

The Delft college students made historical previous by beating 43 assorted team to grow to be the major beginners to receive the tear with their photo voltaic vehicle, Nuna. Nowadays, photo voltaic racing continues to force technological innovation and elevate consciousness for the environmental impact of fossil fuels. It challenges groups to manufacture and refine original applied sciences, contributing to developments in sustainable know-how that will at final income commercial industries.
By partnering with the Brunel Solar Personnel, AFKLMP reaffirms its dedication to sustainability and innovation, vastly advancing efforts to set aside more sustainable practices in aviation and previous.
