Smarter, Cooler, Greener
Cutting Costs & Carbon in Cold Chain Logistics
A typical 16-tonne refrigerated truck incurs an annual total cost of £42,890, covering fuel, maintenance, and refrigeration. It emits 48,855 kg CO2e per year, including emissions from fuel combustion, methane, NOx, and refrigerant leak.
CoolRun saves £5,190 and cuts 5,100 kg CO₂e annually on the same truck, reducing costs and emissions with improved efficiency.
