Shorepower offers comprehensive turnkey infrastructure for electric trailer refrigeration units (eTRU), also known as hybrid-electric reefers. Diesel-driven trailer refrigeration units (TRUs) create noise and air pollution and are expensive to operate while stationary, for both fuel and maintenance when compared to electricity.
These designs also offer higher inherent reliability, smaller quantities of refrigerant charge, and much lower potential for refrigerant leakage due to their closed refrigeration system design (similar to household refrigeration).
