Key Market Trends Fueling Growth

The refrigerated transportation market is witnessing a shift towards electrification as temperature-controlled trailer manufacturers explore more efficient and sustainable solutions. Carrier Transicold's eCool, an all-electric, engineless trailer system, uses E-Drive technology to capture and store kinetic energy and power the refrigeration unit. Schmitz's S.CUe trailer features an electric cooling unit and an electronically controlled generator axle with energy recovery. These electrified trailer technologies not only decrease emissions but also reduce noise pollution, making them suitable for various applications, from small refrigerated vans to large trailers. In 2020, Tesco PLC added 30 new zero-emission electric vans with Thermo King E-200 refrigeration units to its fleet. The growing adoption of electrification in refrigerated transportation is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.

The Refrigerated Transportation Market encompasses various sectors including refrigerated freight, frozen food transport, dairy transportation, meat transportation, seafood transportation, pharmaceutical cold chain, healthcare logistics, and temperature-sensitive cargo.
