Refrigeration Vehicles
Our first route to market and associated revenue stream is refrigerated trailers (or ‘reefers') for the grocery and wine industries. CPTI has already aligned itself with a multinational US-based grocery chain to start data gathering and technical information that will enable it to refine the design of an engine which meets the industry's requirements for improved fuel consumption, lower noise levels and reduced emissions. The market potential is especially attractive given that it is driven both by economic pressures (such as fuel prices) and by legislation (such as US idle-time and quiet zone regulations and Euro IV / V pollution standards).
Current reefer engines operate on diesel engines which are neither fuel efficient nor environmentally sustainable. In an age where all industries are striving for fuel efficiency solutions, reduced emissions and 'green' credentials, CPTI provides users with rapid return on investment both in terms of Corporate & Social Responsibility and bottom line economics.
It is anticipated that the reefer engine will be commercially available by the end of 2009.
