Thermo King, a strategic brand of global climate innovator Trane Technologies, recently completed the latest field testing of its innovative evolve electric trailer with Meijer, a privately-owned and family-operated retailer that operates one of the largest fleets in Michigan.
Meijer piloted Thermo King&#;s electric trailer during Michigan&#;s harsh winter weather, adding to Thermo King&#;s understanding of how climate impacts the system. During its time with Meijer, the technology was used for single-temperature grocery transport and data was tracked using Thermo King&#;s TracKin telematics. With this connected solution, operational and route analysis information was captured to assist with the development of future electric operations.
&#;Meijer is dedicated to leading the industry&#;s adoption of electrification and Thermo King is proud to partner with them on this technology,&#; said Sam Doerr, trailer portfolio leader, Thermo King Americas. &#;Meijer&#;s leadership demonstrates that sustainable practices are possible, and their approach is being sought proactively by other companies looking to decrease their carbon footprint.&#;
&#;Meijer is committed to reducing our carbon footprint, and we&#;re pleased to work with Thermo King, which is leading the industry to further technology and sustainability efforts,&#; said Dave Granning, Meijer fleet maintenance manager. &#;This was a great opportunity and partnership to use real world conditions to help facilitate the advancement of technology and the goal to improve the overall supply chain emissions.&#;
With zero direct emissions, Thermo King&#;s electric trailer technology has been put to the test since late . Each customer trial provides new learnings about what will be needed to ensure customer needs can be met as they look to go all-electric. These findings, which include data such as estimated CO2 emissions avoided in both trip and base operations, trip-based energy utilization, and how delivery procedures impact overall energy demands, provide the necessary insights to help to bring a commercialized, all-electric trailer to the market. To date, Thermo King&#;s single-temperature electric trailer has logged nearly 4,000 hours of customer trials with more to come throughout , which will also include an electric multi-temperature demonstrator unit.
