Battery Only

A battery only electric reefer trailer, is where a battery with charging plug provides the energy to the refrigeration system, similar to a private electric vehicle. The recharging occurs while the vehicle is stationary, during loading/unloading or when parked. To enable this a three-phase power connection is utilized, commonly found most workshops, DCs or loading/unloading location.

In the dynamic battery sector, innovation is constant, improving products with a focus on lightweight, high-output solutions for continuous transport. In TIP Group, we're exploring two charging approaches for cold chain trailers: grid charging for cost-effectiveness and on-board power generation from renewable sources for long-term sustainability. This choice helps reduce grid dependency and fosters greener solutions, aligning with TIP Group's commitment to optimizing fleet logistics.

A standout illustration of successful testing is the collaboration with Unilever, DLG, and maxwell+spark in the Netherlands. This partnership effectively showcased the transition from traditional diesel refrigeration systems to battery-electric prototypes. Commencing in 2021, the initiative aimed at reducing CO2 emissions by utilizing 100% green energy for temperature-controlled transport, with each unit potentially saving 20-25 tons of CO2 annually. The trial, which extended over several months, saw electric systems save over 99% of fossil fuels, marking a significant stride toward net-zero carbon emissions in refrigerated transport, and showcasing a promising prospect for broader implementation across the sector.
