Dearman’s liquid nitrogen-powered engine ( earlier post ) is zero emission. The technology will replace diesel-powered secondary engines used to power (TRUs), which are used to keep food cold on the road. Studies have suggested that delivering at night, when there is less congestion, can reduce fleet CO 2 emissions by up to 30%.
