The article from FleetOwner discusses Emerald Electric Vehicles' introduction of a Class 3 all-electric refrigerated truck, designed to meet the growing demand for sustainable refrigerated transport solutions. This new model, built on a Ford E-Transit chassis, features an electric refrigeration unit from Zero Emission Industries (ZEI) and is tailored for urban delivery routes. The truck has a range of up to 120 miles and can maintain temperatures from -13°F to 68°F, suitable for transporting perishable goods like food and pharmaceuticals. Emerald's upfit includes a 120 kWh battery pack, and the vehicle is part of their broader initiative to provide zero-emission vehicles that reduce both operational costs and environmental impact. The design also focuses on maximizing cargo space and ease of maintenance, with the refrigeration unit being accessible from the exterior for servicing.
