A new standard is emerging: electric, connected, and built for lifecycle performance. [R]eCool puts your fleet ahead of it with electric fleet refrigeration and truck trailer refrigeration electric capability.
Don’t adapt to change. Define it.
FAQ: What you need to know about [R]eCool
It stores electricity (from grid or regenerative sources) and delivers it to the TRU as a battery powered reefer unit. The system manages charge/discharge to maximize runtime, enabling battery powered trailer refrigeration with real-time monitoring.
It is a dedicated onboard energy system that powers a trailer’s refrigeration unit without diesel. [R]eCool is an electric refrigeration battery for trailers built as a 38.5 kWh trailer battery to support electric fleet refrigeration and truck trailer refrigeration electric use cases.
Lower fuel use and emissions, quieter operation, extended autonomy, and compatibility with existing TRUs. Fleets gain cost savings, compliance benefits, and stronger electric cold chain reliability through electric fleet refrigeration.
Typical operation delivers about 7-11 hours per charge depending on load, ambient conditions, and setpoint. With [R]eCool’s 38.5 kWh trailer battery, many routes can be completed on electric power alone within the electric cold chain.
Most day-route operations in delivery or regional usage are served by a 30 kWh class pack. [R]eCool’s 38.5 kWh trailer battery balances weight, capacity, and cost for truck trailer refrigeration electric needs; duty cycle analysis via Lynx can refine the right configuration.
