Global Refrigerated Trailer Market- Recent Developments

1. In July 18, 2023, ConMet eMobility, a division of Amsted Industries, is a global supplier of wheel hubs, and they have achieved a significant milestone by partnering with Penske Logistics, a leading provider of supply chain and logistics solutions. Penske Logistics has successfully deployed the first zero-emission refrigerated tractor-trailer by pairing an nMotion TR 160-45 equipped reefer trailer with a Freightliner eCascadia electric semi-truck. This innovative combination allows for emissions-free refrigerated transport by integrating an all-electric tractor with a reefer trailer cooled through an electric standby TRU, powered by energy generated from in-wheel electric motors. The advanced in-wheel PreSet Plus eHub technology within the nMotion system generates power for the reefer during vehicle motion, ensuring that perishable cargo remains appropriately chilled throughout the transportation process.
