E-trailer, Thermo King to become strategic minority investor of Trailer Dynamics

Trane Technologies and its brand Thermo King are about to become strategic minority investor and cooperation partner of Trailer Dynamics. Here’s more about the Trailer Dynamics project, so far partnered by German trailer manufacturer Krone. According to the plans, the alliance is expected to drive innovations that enhance efficiency and accelerate the transition to zero-emission transportation in Europe and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Technologically speaking, the eTrailer provides supporting propulsion which allows significant diesel and CO2 emission reduction when combined with traditional internal combustion tractors, extends the driving range when combined with an electric powered tractor, and has the capability to power electrified or traditional trailer refrigeration units (TRUs).
