SeaCube, a global company in refrigerated intermodal equipment leasing, partnered with Greensee to launch solutions aimed at redefining sustainability in the refrigerated transport sector. This collaboration introduces SeaCube’s Green and net-zero reefer leases, powered by Greensee’s AI-driven CO2 emissions reporting technology.
SeaCube is also working with Thermo King, a company in transport temperature control solutions and a brand of Trane Technologies, and CMA CGM to field-test Thermo King’s E-COOLPAC electric genset, a battery-powered refrigerated container gensets in the United States.
“This e-genset is a game-changer for our operations,” Fabien Gresy-Aveline, vice president, container fleet at CMA CGM, said. “By transitioning away from diesel, we are taking a significant step toward more sustainable refrigerated transport.”
“As a global leader in refrigerated intermodal equipment leasing, SeaCube is dedicated to investing in transformative sustainability solutions,” Gregory Tuthill, chief commercial officer of SeaCube, said. “These initiatives not only help customers meet their rigorous sustainability targets but also significantly reduce the carbon footprint of refrigerated transport.”
“Providing electric solutions for refrigerated transportation is part of Thermo King’s and Trane Technologies’ overall approach to reducing carbon emissions,” Claudio Zanframundo, president of Thermo King EMEA truck, trailer, bus and global marine, rail and air, said. “E-COOLPAC is a diesel genset alternative power source for reefers when they are not connected to grid or vessel power. It allows for lower emissions and adherence to local regulations when transporting refrigerated marine containers from ports to distribution centers, or those involved in daily reefer container transport.”
“Effective GHG reporting for refrigerated transportation contributes to providing PIL with good visibility on our emissions, helps us meet regulatory requirements and supports our long-term goal of achieving net zero GHG emissions by 2050,” Lim Chee Wei, general manager, logistics division of PIL, said.
“Greensee’s advanced analytics empower customers to accurately monitor and report emissions, ensuring compliance while enabling real-time optimization of refrigerated transport,” Luc Terrel, founder and CEO of Greensee, said. “Our partnership with SeaCube is a pivotal step toward a more sustainable future in cold chain logistics.”
“SeaCube and Greensee are setting the standard for sustainability in the cold chain industry,” Tuthill said. “Through innovative solutions like energy analytics, the electric genset, and the Net-Zero Reefer Lease Program, we are providing practical, impactful pathways to help customers reduce emissions and achieve carbon neutrality.”
