"Self-charging electric refrigeration trailer system cuts emissions by 90%"

Thermo King ® , a transport temperature control solutions and a brand of Trane Technologies , announce today that Spanish logistics group Carreras has successfully finish trials of a new refrigerate semi - trailer with Thermo King ’s ego - charging electric refrigeration system for trailers . Since January , and covering a distance of approximately 55,000 km , the refrigeration system has operated 100 % in galvanic modal value while on the road . To reduce the tractor ’s and trailer ’s emission footprint even more , Carreras operates on biofuel , which lowers the entire emission by 90 % according to the ship’s company . The drone presently continues to operate in Carreras ' fleet across Europe .

The system leverage Thermo King Advancer hybrid refrigeration unit and AxlePower dynamical Department of Energy recovery organization , including the ENERG - due east barrage pack . Thermo King ’s AxlePower technology dynamically recovers energy while rolling and braking and stores it in the battery pack , which in bit power the dawdler refrigeration whole .

Unlike other axle generators , the advanced control system will also free the e - axle when the trailer is on an uphill , avoiding energy penalties and subjugate fuel consumption . All in all , the Thermo King system understate the need for charging , therefore increasing uptime while boil down operating price and direct carbon emissions .

" This project and collaboration with Thermo King and its dealer Frigicoll mark a significant stride for Carreras in squeeze sustainable logistics . Through the integration of the new technology , we managed to deliver tangible , efficient , and unmediated enhancements to our operations , " said Héctor Benito Serón , director of projects , consulting , sustainability and innovation at Carreras . " We are proud of our unwavering commitment to decarbonization and mental process advance , guarantee the highest calibre services for our customers . This labor convey us another step closer to our ultimate goal of a 50 % reduction in carbon footprint . "

" The ability to rule and mother energy directly from the poke ' move draw this engineering a sustainable solution for diverse transportation motivation , " say Francisco Cambra Soriano , arena sale director at Thermo King . " At a time when consumer demands more and more prioritise sustainability , humbled or zero discharge and resourcefulness - saving supply chains are becoming an significant selling point . Carreras utilising the ego - charging AxlePower solution , will secure long - term competitive advantage and found themselves as frontrunners in sustainable practice . "

The possibility to capture and reuse vigour make the Advancer hybrid or full - electric refrigeration building block in combining with AxlePower technology an idealistic solution to hereafter - substantiation and increase the sustainability of all type of trailer journeys . With soundless running and no CO2 expelling from the refrigeration unit when control from the stamp battery pack , this technology allows customers to sustainably run long - catch and inner - city deliveries , including in Ultra - low Emission Zones ( ULEZs ) and low disturbance urban areas .
