Dearman and Hubbard have a technology development partnership, and are working together to bring the Dearman engine-powered transport refrigeration system to market.
Dearman is developing a range of zero-emission cold and power technologies, using liquid air engines. The first such technology to come to market will be a clean transport refrigeration system, which has been on trial since March in a joint project with MIRA, Loughborough University and Air Products.
Dearman and Hubbard will begin real-world commercial trials later this year and further trials will then commence in 2016 in several international markets.
Michael Ayres, deputy chief executive for Dearman, says: "This is a first for Dearman to bring our cutting-edge liquid-nitrogen-powered transport refrigeration system to a trade show such as TCS&D.
"It has undergone extensive on-vehicle trials over the last six months and has shown that it can achieve rapid pull-down rates and operate at high efficiency, so we look forward to talking through the technology's significant operational benefits with potential end users."
