Electric Refrigeration Units for Trucks and Trailers
eCool: Electrify your cold chain
Carrier's eCool suite of low to ultra-low emission electric truck and trailer refrigeration units meet the demands inherent to market transformation.
Why electric transport refigeration solutions?
Carrier Transicold has been pioneering electrification for more than 20 years. It all started with the strategic launch of our E-Drive™ all-electric technology in 1999, transforming mechanical transmissions into electricity. This was the gateway to fully electrifying our refrigeration units and replacing fossil fuel engines.
Electrification has been continuously growing in the passenger car industry over the years and is now significantly evolving the truck OEM industry by reaching cold chain transport equipment. Carrier Transicold is fully embracing and acting upon this transformation.
Today, Carrier Transicold is proud to offer an electric solution for 100% of our vehicle ranges.

Battery packs to power next-gen refrigeration units
Carrier Transicold now offers a suite of battery packs to meet the demands inherent to market transformation. Battery packs are coupled with refrigeration systems in order to provide electric power directly to the unit.
For LCVs and light duty trucks, Mastervolt batteries are a good fit to power refrigeration units with smaller electrical power needs. For medium, heavy-duty trucks and trailers, Carrier Transicold has partnered with the Portuguese technology company AddVolt.
Battery packs: chemistry matters
When it comes to Lithium-ion batteries, numerous options exist - but none are perfect, and each comes with technological advantages and disadvantages. Depending on your needs, multiple criteria should factor into finding the best balance for your application.
Carrier Transicold has chosen a battery technology bundling the best-case scenario for criteria:
LifespanKey to preserving unit operation and product life |
Available powerProvides maximum available power from common chemistries for high-consumption devices |
Safety of operationOne of the best-balanced chemistry types for the highest stability |
Technology costAvoids overly rare materials to ensure well-balanced pricing for this level of energy storage |
