“Technology for cooling the cab has evolved so quickly that Bergstrom, Rockford, Il, already is offering a solar option, partnering with a firm called eNow, Inc. in Providence, RI., that makes solar panels for truck trailers. The panels collect energy to run the NITE cooling system and charge it, too Gordon said”.
There are about 2.4 million Class 8 semi-trucks on the road, according to the 2011 Trucking Trends report published by the American Trucking Associations. Terry Levison, senior project manager at Argonne National Labs says it is unclear how many of these trucks are equipped with no-idling cooling systems.
