e-reefer solutions from TIP to meet your temperature-controlled transport operation needs

TIP Group Ambition

We have the ambition to partner with our customers in the electrification of their cold-chain fleet, offering options like short-term rental and long-term lease of electric reefer trailers, to ensure that in the near future, e-reefers run entirely on renewable electricity.

“Ice cold CO2-free: 100% electric reefer trailers”

Transporting perishable goods, like food, medicine, and chemicals, requires refrigerated trailers. However, they have a significant environmental impact due to energy use and emissions.

Our commitment

TIP Group has formally committed to setting science-based targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions with the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi), aligning with the Paris Agreement goals to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

To tackle this, switching to electric reefer trailers is vital for greener, efficient cold chain logistics. Innovative solutions like energy recuperation axles, solar panels, and grid charging are making this transition possible.

e-reefer solutions from TIP

Battery & solar-powered e-reefer solutions

Battery and solar-powered e reefers use roof mounted solar panels to generate electricity, that charges an onboard battery pack to power the refrigeration system. The battery pack can also be charged from the electricity grid as needed, typically when the trailer is at a depot.

Energy recuperation axle e-reefer solutions

Energy recuperation e‑reefers use an energy‑recovery axle to generate electricity from the trailer’s movement and braking, charging an onboard battery pack to power the refrigeration system. The battery pack can also be charged from the electricity grid as needed, typically when the trailer is at a depot.

Solar-electric e-reefer solutions

Solar-electric e-reefers have their refrigeration system powered by a battery pack which is supported by a solar array which is integrated into the roof of a refrigerated trailer. The system can be retrofitted to refrigerated trailers already in fleet, in addition to being fitted to new build.

Revolutionizing cold chain logistics

Electric reefer trials across Europe

With our electric reefer trials across Europe, customers have the opportunity to experience the new technology and better understand if the solution meets their operational and business needs. These trials are a key step towards a greener future, helping businesses meet sustainability goals without compromising on reliability.
