CoolRun - Lightweighting and HGV modification to optimise energy efficiency of cold chain freight

Hubl物流有限公司开发了创新的CoolRun系统，这是一种零排放、被动冷却、能源效率高、重量轻的替代方案，能够运输混合、环境和冷藏货物。它包括一个新颖的处理系统。在这个项目上，我们将与英国HGC拖车和车身的高端制造商Lawrence David合作。我们将共同开发一款轻便、节能的HGV拖车，以降低车辆的燃油消耗，消除对二次电源(通常是不受监管的柴油发动机)的需求，并消除对昂贵且低效的制冷和冷却系统的需求。CoolRun系统将使车辆重量减轻20%，同时有效载荷增加20%。理论上，这意味着能源需求和运营效率降低了20%。更高的效率将通过改变人工食品检查的行为来实现，这会影响温度一致性。自COVID大流行以来，市场大幅增长，在线食品杂货订单数量激增了61%。估计表明，食品杂货递送数量仍将比新冠状病毒感染前高出40%。这个项目背后的动机是净零目标零售商和受到越来越多的减排法规约束的HGV制造商之间的推拉效应。其中一个重要的推动因素是电子商务的迅速崛起，这带来了更高的送货需求，这就需要更多的货运车辆上路。在这个项目中，Hubl将在HGV拖车上开发CoolRun系统的原型，用于3.5吨以上的车辆。我们将审查和测试其环境性能，并在真实条件下进行测试。

Hubl Logistics Ltd have developed the innovative CoolRun System, a zero-emission, passive cooling, energy efficient, lightweight alternative capable of transporting mixed, ambient and refrigerated freight. It includes a novel handling system. On this project we will work with Lawrence David, the UK's premium manufacturer of HGC trailers and bodies. Together we will develop an lightweight, energy efficient HGV trailer that reduces vehicle fuel consumption, removes the need for a secondary power source (often an unregulated diesel engine), and removes the requirement for an expensive and inefficient refrigeration and cooling system. The CoolRun System will create a 20% vehicle weight reduction, while enabling a 20% increased payload. In theory, this represents a 20% reduction in energy requirement as well as operational efficiency. Additional efficiencies will be delivered by changing behaviours around manual food checks, which impact temperature consistency. The market has grown substantially since the COVID pandemic, which saw a 61% spike in the number of online grocery orders. Estimates suggest that the number of grocery deliveries will remain 40% higher than pre-COVID levels. The motivation behind this project is a push-pull effect between retailers with Net Zero targets and HGV manufacturers subject to increasing regulations around emissions reduction. An important driver here is the rapid rise in e-commerce, which is creating higher demand for deliveries, which require more freight vehicles on the road. In this project Hubl will develop a prototype of the CoolRun System on a HGV trailer for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes. We will review and test its environmental performance and test in real-world conditions.
