Carrier Transicold announced its new Vector eCool trailer refrigeration unit received the city of Madridâs âCommunity of Madrid Award" in the âefficiency and innovation in refrigerated transportâ category. Sponsored by the daily newspaper La Razón, the awards honor entrepreneurship, resilience and innovation of companies in Spain.
Launched in October, the Vector eCool unit is the first fully autonomous, all-electric, engineless refrigerated transport system for semi-trailers. Combining Carrier Transicold's all-electric E-Drive technology with a new state-of-the-art energy recovery and storage system, it converts the kinetic energy generated by the semi-trailer vehicle into electricity, which is then stored in a battery pack to power the refrigeration unit. This loop creates a fully self-sustaining virtuous system that produces no direct carbon dioxide (CO2) or particulate emissions.
