The ADVANCER Project by Thermo King and Trane Technologies

Thermo King - by Trane Technologies, a global climate innovator - is a worldwide leader in sustainable transport temperature control solutions. Their refrigeration and temperature control products are responsible for protecting sensitive cargo from the food we eat to pharmaceuticals, vaccines and much more.
In response to their parent company’s 2030 sustainability aspirations, and the commitment to reduce their customers’ CO2e emissions by one gigaton by 2030 - equivalent to 2% of the world's annual emissions or, the annual emissions of France, Italy & UK combined - Thermo King responded with the introduction of ADVANCER, a disruptive new re-imagining of the trailer refrigeration unit.
Built with ambitious sustainability goals at its core, ADVANCER was born to life in Thermo King’s manufacturing site in Galway through the use of all-new Mild Hybrid electrified architecture that creates a new standard for performance, fuel efficiency, temperature control and environmental sustainability. This architecture enables paradigm shifting reductions in fuel consumption by 30% and CO2 emissions by 50%.
Additionally, the ADVANCER product is built on new world class sustainable assembly line that has reduced its energy consumption by 60%, utilizing 100% renewable energy. This Galway-based assembly line is now is on track to become the first Carbon Neutral assembly line in the sector.
