Analysis undertaken by Dearman, the clean cold technology company, has highlighted the environmental impact that transport refrigeration units could be having on the UK’s urban streets.
Transport refrigeration units are used to keep refrigerated vehicles cold and although they are generally diesel powered, and there are thousands in operation in the UK, they are currently unregulated.
