Innovations Shaping the Future of Refrigerated Transport
Refrigerated transport companies are increasingly focusing on innovative products such as electric-driven transport refrigeration units to maintain competitiveness. These units use electricity to power refrigeration systems, offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional models. For example, in September 2023, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Systems, Ltd. introduced the TEJ35GAM, an electric-driven refrigeration unit for small and mid-size trucks. This unit features a plug-in hybrid system that switches smoothly between battery power and plug-in charging, enabling continuous refrigeration even when the vehicle is idle or parked. Moreover, it incorporates a heat-pump system capable of simultaneously cooling and heating two separate cargo compartments, enhancing temperature control stability across seasons. This innovation reflects Mitsubishi's commitment to advancing energy-efficient and low-emission refrigeration technologies in transportation.
