ConMet, Carrier Transicold, Sysco team on zero-emission refrigerated trailer technology

ConMet eMobility and Carrier Transicold have entered into an agreement to supply Sysco with new zero-emission refrigeration systems as part of a commercial evaluation program. The new system combines the ConMet PreSet Plus eHub with Carrier’s Vector refrigeration unit to provide fleets a zero-emission solution for commercial trailers.

Regenerative energy created by the lightweight, modular, in-wheel motors of the eHub system power the electric Vector refrigeration unit, the company says. Initial delivery of this system took place earlier this year at Sysco’s Riverside, CA, operating site.
