A cool 55,000 km in fully electric mode
The Spanish logistics group Carreras has completed a trial of a new refrigerated semi-trailer with Thermo King’s self-charging electric refrigeration system for trailers.
Starting in January 2024, the test vehicles operated for almost 55,000 km in fully electric mode, deploying a special hybrid trailer refrigeration and a special energy recovery system. Together with the use of biofuel, Carreras reduced total emissions during the test phase by 90%.
The integration of the new technology will also allow it to make efficient and sustainable improvements to its operations, Carreras said. The test trailer now continues to operate in its fleet in Europe. (ben)
