What is eco-drive?

eco-drive is a truck driven system that constantly powers the refrigeration unit when the truck engine is running, eliminating the need for the fridge unit diesel engine to be used when the truck is on the move

  • eco drive units can be fitted to tractor units or rigid vehicles
  • eco-drive units capture waste energy and convert it into electricity whenever the truck is decelerating or coasting downhill
  • eco-drive units need only a small percentage of the truck’s power to drive the fridge resulting in an 80% reduction in the fuel used to keep foodstuff chilled whilst being transported
  • eco-drive units provide a constant power supply that complies with all fridge specifications
  • fitting an eco-drive unit will not adversely affect the fridge manufacturers’ warranties
  • using eco-drive reduces the noise pollution associated with refrigerated transport
  • eco-drive units are manufactured in the UK by our partner Parker Hannifin
