The onsite solar portion of the project will supply approximately 10% of the plant’s annual electricity.

Carrier Transicold has enhanced its platform of solar charging systems for transport refrigeration unit (TRU) batteries with a wider array of choices and greater power delivery for faster charging.

One of the first electric vehicle hubs of its kind in the world, the project is a foundational step toward Sysco’s goal to reduce its direct emissions.

UNFI installed its largest solar array investment to date at its Howell, New Jersey distribution center. 

The new state-of-the-art facility is designed to support the movement of fresh produce from field to table, and will employ renewable energy and automation to maximize throughput, extend produce shelf life, and minimize costs. 

Tribe Transportation is expanding its fleet with 111 new 53-foot trailers equipped with Carrier Transicold X4 7500 refrigeration units to help it meet demand in the fast-growing life sciences sector, which includes the transport of pharmaceutical products. The acquisition includes Carrier Transicold TRU-Mount solar panels, which help to maintain the charge of the refrigeration unit batteries. Additionally, Tribe acquired 100 Carrier Transicold ComfortPro diesel auxiliary power units (APUs) to help maintain cab climate control for its drivers.
