Current thermal issues and solutions with SPACECOOL

Long working hours and harsh summer working conditions

  • Improving working conditions by suppressing temperature rise inside warehouses and cargo compartments

Heat damage to transported goods

  • Reducing temperature rise inside cargo compartments to improve transport quality

Fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions from cooling cargo compartments

  • Improving cooling efficiency in warehouses and trucks to reduce CO₂ emissions

Challenges of Conventional Heat Countermeasures

• Longer working hours are required for pre-cooling the cargo area, and measures are necessary to address the 2024 logistics regulations*¹.
• Fuel consumption for cooling is high, reducing fuel efficiency and resulting in CO₂ emissions.
(*1) A general term referring to various issues that arise due to the Work Style Reform–related legislation effective from April 1, 2024, which limits annual overtime hours for “commercial driving work” to 960 hours.

Thermal Insulation Material

  • A thick insulating material is required, reducing loading efficiency
  • Vulnerable to water and moisture
  • Panel weight increases, and heat retention causes temperature rise at night
