Nature, a leading scientific journal, noticed that in early 2020, C02 emissions dropped significantly for the first time in decades. Unfortunately, by early 2021, emissions were back on pre-2020 levels.
Everyone in the industry understands that sustainable innovations are necessary. A recent Gartner report indicates that 84% of all supply chain leaders plan to invest in climate adaption technology in the next 1.5 years.
Here are 3 sustainable technologies that Thermo King is using.
Early tests with 1st generation biofuel were disappointing. In 2012, The Guardian uncovered that biofuels were reducing far less greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than promised. Fortunately, additional R&D by companies like Neste led to a new biofuel: HVO Diesel.
Benefits of HVO Diesel:
More than a few Thermo King units are compatible with HVO Diesel. Our SLXi, A-Series, T-Series, and UT-Series can be powered by this more sustainable fuel source.
Thermo King has been leading the way in solar panel technology with ThermoLite™ panels. This sustainable power management solution will increase battery life of a refrigeration unit while reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. And so, you’re helping to meet the sustainability goals of your customers.
Benefits of solar panels:
An even more effective way for your customer to reduce its impact on the environment is to join the electrification wave.
We’ve been working – with our partners – on this technology. Let us introduce you to the Thermo King x Mercedes Benz eSprinter. In early February 2021, we revealed the encouraging results of the field tests we conducted with the zero-emission eSprinter.
The Mercedes eSprinter comes equipped with our electric E-200 units. And with its low emission, it’ll be perfect for last-mile deliveries of pharmaceuticals and fresh produce.
