Carrier reaffirmed its commitment to reducing emissions, improving sustainability and increasing efficiency across the refrigerated transport sector with the launch of the first fully autonomous, all-electric engineless Vector eCool refrigerated trailer system in 2020. Vector eCool combines the company’s E-Drive™ all-electric technology with a new cutting-edge energy recovery and storage system.

This loop creates a fully autonomous system that produces no direct carbon dioxide (CO2) or particulate emissions.

The Environment + Energy Leader Awards is a program recognizing excellence in products and services that provide companies with energy and environmental benefits, and in projects implemented by companies that improved environmental or energy management and increased the bottom line. The win is an indication that the program’s expert judges consider the Vector eCool system a top example of the exemplary work being done today in the fields of energy and environmental management.

The Vector eCool system underlines Carrier Transicold’s commitment to providing solutions designed at reducing emissions, improving reliability and increasing efficiency throughout the refrigerated transport sector. The Vector eCool system is the latest example of how Carrier is working to help its customers reduce their carbon footprint by more than 1 gigaton as part of its 2030 Environmental, Social and Governance goals.
