TEJ35AM Electric-driven Transport Refrigeration Unit with Heat-pump Heating Function to Be Used on EV Trucks to Achieve Energy Savings and CO2 Reduction
Trucks installed with transport refrigeration units are widely used in the food distribution and logistics industries to transport goods which require temperature control, such as food and pharmaceutical products, and play an important role in ensuring the safety of food and the reliability of pharmaceutical products. Truck transportation in its entirety, including trucks installed with such transport refrigeration units, must address the issue of CO2 emissions and their impact on climate change, and initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions are underway. In this context, electrification, in other words the promotion of EVs, is one promising method. Therefore, it was necessary to develop a refrigeration unit for transportation that could maximize the advantages of EVs in transportation requiring temperature control, and to cooperate with EV trucks. This report introduces TEJ35AM electric-driven transport refrigeration unit with heat-pump heating function, which was developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Systems, Ltd. for the mass-production of EV trucks by Japanese automobile manufacturers.
