The Dearman transport refrigeration system combines cryogenic refrigeration with a Dearman engine and a downsized vapor compression refrigeration cycle, giving it several decisive advantages. Because the Dearman TRU is powered by expansion rather than internal combustion, it is also markedly quieter than a diesel unit.

Researchers at ETH Zürich are developing a pneumatic hybrid engine—an internal combustion engine connected to a compressed air tank instead of a battery system. The compressed air supply also allows extreme downsizing. Downsizing the engine in this instance halves the number of cylinders from four to two. Rüegg / ETH Zurich.
