NomadPower: Electric Refrigeration Trailer Cooling at Truck Parks, Cold Stores and DC’s

Netherlands (2013)
Electric cooling offers a cheap, clean and quiet alternative to noisy and polluting diesel generators at truck parks and distributions centers.

Challenge / Goal

NOTE: This best practice was sourced by the ENTRANCE consortium from publicly-available information.

The best practice is aimed at decarbonising road transport.

Solution

100% electric trailer cooling possible by combining:

  • Kinetic energy technology: Power generated from braking and drive shaft while moving
  • Batteries:Battery power supply during short stop
  • Charging infrastructure: Power supply from grid during stops and overnight stays

NomadPower is offering charging infrastructure for refrigeration trailers. This combination provides a solution to offer clients 100% engineless cooling.

 

Electric Cooling provides benefits including:

  • Large Reduction in Harmful Emissions: Electric cooling reduces harmful emissions of PM and NOx by over 90% and CO2 emissions by 70%
  • Reducing Noise Levels: Diesel generators can be switched off overnight, significantly reducing noise levels
  • Lower Running Cost: Electricity is substantially cheaper than diesel
  • No Modifications on Trucks Needed: Over 95% of all cool units are equipped with standard power outlet to operate on electric power
