As global logistics push toward low-emission transport, demand for efficient, sustainable cold-chain tech is rising. Electric transport refrigeration units (eTRUs) are reshaping urban delivery, pharma, fresh food, and e‑commerce logistics. Manufacturers now focus on battery-powered solutions that cut fuel use, lower operating costs, and support environmental goals.

Among key players is Corunclima, a specialist in temperature control for vans, trucks, trailers, and EVs. Its latest eTRUs meet last-mile cold delivery and zero-emission needs. Traditional diesel-driven units create noise, emissions, and high maintenance. Fully electric systems run on DC batteries and electric compressors, offering quieter operation and lower environmental impact—crucial for cities tightening emissions and noise rules.

Corunclima’s van refrigeration lineup includes battery-powered models for both electric and conventional vans, covering -5°C chilling to -20°C deep‑freezing. Models like C150TB, V150TB, and C350TB serve compact and mid‑size refrigerated vehicles for food and pharma transport. Features include full DC electric compressors, low‑voltage battery protection, digital controls, and compact evaporators maximizing cargo space.

The C350TB (for 10–12 m³ spaces) delivers ~3080 W cooling at -5°C, supports DC12V/24V, and runs with the engine off—saving fuel and wear. Industry experts highlight eTRUs’ value for last‑mile fleets in dense cities, especially for grocery, fresh produce, frozen food, and pharma deliveries. Quieter operation also improves driver comfort.

Electric units also pair seamlessly with EVs such as Maxus e‑Deliver 9, Mercedes e‑Sprinter, Nissan e‑NV200, BYD T3, and Renault Kangoo Z.E., supporting full fleet electrification. For larger trucks, DC48V systems offer 8–11 hours on lithium batteries. Modern units use R134A, R404A, or R452A, with a trend toward low‑GWP refrigerants and smart energy‑saving tech.

As carbon‑reduction goals intensify, market demand for eTRUs will keep rising. Advances in batteries, compressor efficiency, and intelligent controls will accelerate adoption, making electric refrigeration a cornerstone of sustainable, temperature‑controlled logistics worldwide.
