TRUs and TRU gensets emit diesel PM, NO x , greenhouse gases and other pollutants. Estimated 2017 emissions from all TRUs and TRU gensets operating in California include: Diesel PM 2.5 : 230 tons per year. TRU gensets are typically engine-powered generators designed to provide power to electrically driven refrigeration units.

The Long Beach, CA-based truck/trailer emits 85% less overall particulate matter and 10% less carbon dioxide than its diesel counterparts. With plans to deploy the truck locally out of Long Beach as a test, the company will evaluate the performance as well as compare the efficiency versus the current diesel trucks.

LPG (90 hp / 67 kW) engines reduce CO 2 emissions by up to 12% compared with gasoline power, and offer lower emissions of criteria pollutants. The Dacia LPG vehicles are dual-mode gasoline/ LPG gas vehicles (the driver only has to activate a switch to select the petrol or gas mode), and are 60% quieter than diesel-powered vehicles.
