Backers include financing specialists&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.decisive.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Decisive<\/a>, MACV, Tiger8,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.virtual-network.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Virtual Network<\/a>&nbsp;and well-known names like&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/aasons.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AA Sons<\/a>&nbsp;(optician family Afflelou) as well as logistics industry heavyweights.<\/p>\n<p>Co-CEO David Baur said: \u201cThe logistics industry is ripe for a new technological breakthrough. With the Aeler container, we are reworking the very foundations of this trillion-dollar industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aeler.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aeler\u2019s UNIT ONE<\/a> container is light, robust, insulated, smart and can hold more payload too. It\u2019s designed to replace the 60-year-old steel shipping container that\u2019s at the core of this industry.<\/p>\n<h4>The Solar Impulse label and numerous key benefits<\/h4>\n<p>According to Aeler Technologies, the key benefits of the UNIT ONE container are a 20% reduction in CO2 emissions thanks to its additional payload and aerodynamic design, 11% more storage volume (up to 17% for flexitanks) thanks to the container\u2019s flat insides, as well as drastic reductions in temperature variations thanks to the container\u2019s structural insulation. This offers a real alternative to \u2018reefers\u2019 (energy-hungry refrigerated containers) for sensitive goods.<\/p>\n<p>This funding was received to meet rapidly growing demand for Aeler\u2019s new generation container and expand its Container As A Service (CAAS), an innovative subscription-based model that gives customers timely and flexible access to Aeler\u2019s containers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/solarimpulse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Solar Impulse<\/a>&#8216;s world-renowned explorer and pioneer in clean technologies Bertrand Piccard said: \u201cThe Solar Impulse Label exists to show governments and business leaders that solutions that are good for the environment represent the biggest market opportunity of our century.
