Case Study: Nussbaum Transportation cuts idle time and fuel costs with Merlin Solar

Nussbaum Transportation cuts idle time to under 1% with Merlin Solar

Nussbaum Transportation, a leader in commercial logistics, faced the challenge of rising fuel costs and operational inefficiencies caused by excessive vehicle idling, which was shortening battery life and driving up maintenance expenses. To address this, they turned to Merlin Solar for a solution involving its flexible, roof-mounted solar panels.

By equipping 70% of its fleet with Merlin Solar's panels, Nussbaum drastically cut idle time from 15% to under 1% on monitored trucks. The solution delivered a measurable impact, including saving roughly one gallon of diesel per hour of reduced idle time, extending battery life from 18 months to 3-4 years, and achieving a 70% reduction in battery replacement costs.
