Eco Logistics With Reefer Trailers: Green Freight Solutions

Innovations in Refrigerated Transport are changing the game for green freight solutions.

New tech allows things to stay cool while reducing pollution and saving energy.

• Low-emission Temperature Controlled Transportation – Reefer trailers are changing thanks to new tech. They can now keep goods cold without hurting the planet as much. Trucks use less fuel and put out fewer bad gases. This means cleaner air and a better world for everyone. Companies everywhere are looking at this option. They want to send their stuff in a way that’s good for Earth. These trailers also save money on gas over time. It’s a win-win for businesses and nature alike!
• AxlePower Technology – Moving from low-emission solutions, AxlePower technology partners with BPW to revolutionize refrigerated shipping. It uses energy from the movement and braking of trailers, saving power in high-efficiency batteries for later use. This system sets a new standard using all-electric cooling alongside advanced fuel-driven units for better efficiency and lower emissions.

Keeping reefer trailers in top shape is key for our eco logistics services.

Regular checks mean less downtime and more green miles.
