Cold storage

Generate revenue & reduce customer fuel use

Create a new revenue stream by offering electric TRU (eTRU) services to carriers, helping them reduce fuel use and lower operational costs. By transitioning from diesel to electric refrigeration units, customers save significantly on fuel, while cold storage operators can charge for eTRU usage. This helps customers meet sustainability goals, reduces their carbon footprint, and positions cold storage providers as eco-friendly partners. Offering a clean energy solution differentiates providers in a competitive market while driving new income from eTRU services.

Automate invoicing

Streamline invoicing by automating energy tracking and billing. With real-time data collection, providers can easily calculate the exact electricity used by each customer’s refrigeration unit. Automatic invoicing ensures accurate, transparent billing, allowing providers to charge based on actual energy usage. This simplifies operations, reduces administrative tasks, and ensures all potential revenue from eTRU services is captured, boosting profitability and enhancing the customer experience.

Food suppliers, distributors, haulers

Dramatically reduce energy costs and emissions

By replacing diesel-powered refrigeration units with electric TRUs, companies lower their reliance on fossil fuels, reducing fuel expenses and greenhouse gas emissions. This shift helps businesses meet sustainability goals, comply with stricter environmental regulations, and save on fluctuating diesel costs. With a smaller carbon footprint and reduced fuel expenses, food suppliers and haulers can improve operational efficiency while appealing to eco-conscious consumers and partners.

Optimize diesel & electricity usage

Optimize when trucks use diesel or electricity based on fluctuating energy rates to ensure cost efficiency. By monitoring real-time energy prices and TRU performance, companies can choose the most economical power source, whether diesel or electric. This flexibility maximizes cost savings while maintaining the integrity of perishable goods. Our AI-powered platform intelligently switches between power sources, taking advantage of lower electricity costs and avoiding demand charges and penalties, finding the perfect balance between sustainability and profitability.

Utilities

Electrify more load

Transitioning from diesel to electric-powered refrigeration units enables utilities to help industries like cold storage, food distribution, and transport increase electricity consumption while reducing fossil fuel reliance. By supporting fleet electrification, utilities drive sustainable demand for electricity, helping customers lower carbon footprints and fuel costs.

This collaboration strengthens customer relationships while boosting utility revenue through increased electric load across service areas.

Help balance the grid

Adopting eTRUs helps balance the grid during peak demand. Since they rely on electricity, utilities can manage their energy usage in response to grid conditions, providing a flexible load. This controllable load integrates into demand response programs, stabilizing the grid by reducing strain during peak hours or absorbing excess energy when supply is high.

By incorporating eTRU loads into grid management, utilities enhance reliability while supporting energy efficiency and sustainability goals.
