These units are used extensively in the cold chain industry to transport temperature-sensitive goods, making them high energy consumers and significant contributors to carbon emissions. [ Partner With Us ](https://www.esquaredt.com/contact-us?hsLang=en) There are an estimated **4 million refrigerated trucks and trailers**, **500,000 refrigerated rail cars**, and **1.5 million refrigerated shipping containers** in use globally. Here’s an analysis of CryoGenX4’s potential impact: ![Bag of Coins Icon](https://www.esquaredt.com/hubfs/2953867_bag_coin_coins_dollar_money_icon.svg) #### **Monetary Impact:** - Reefer units typically consume significant diesel fuel for cooling, often using about **1,500 to 2,500 gallons of diesel annually**. - With CryoGenX4’s **20%-30% reduction** in diesel usage, fuel savings per unit could reach: - **Refrigerated Trucks and Trailers:** Approximately **300 to 750 gallons saved per unit** annually. - **Refrigerated Rail Cars and Shipping Containers:** Similar savings of **300 to 750 gallons** per unit annually. - Assuming an average diesel cost of **$4 per gallon**, the estimated savings would be: - **Refrigerated Trucks and Trailers:** - Total savings between **$4.8 billion and $9 billion** annually (across 4 million units). - **Refrigerated Rail Cars:** - Total savings between **$600 million and $1.1 billion** annually. - **Refrigerated Shipping Containers:** - Total savings between **$1.8 billion and $3.3 billion** annually. ![C02 Cloud Icon](https://www.esquaredt.com/hubfs/9079098_co2_carbon_dioxide_emission_pollution_icon.svg) #### **Environmental Impact:** - Diesel consumption by reefer units contributes to significant greenhouse gas emissions. Each gallon of diesel burned emits approximately **10.2 kg of CO2**. - With CryoGenX4, reducing diesel use by **20%-30%** translates into major CO2 reductions: - **Refrigerated Trucks and Trailers:** Reduction of **12.2 to 30.6 million metric tons of CO2** annually. - **Refrigerated Rail Cars:** Reduction of **1.5 to 3.7 million metric tons of CO2** annually. - **Refrigerated Shipping Containers:** Reduction of **4.6 to 11.5 million metric tons of CO2** annually. By adopting CryoGenX4, the cold chain transport industry could realize **billions of dollars in fuel cost savings** and reduce its environmental impact by **millions of metric tons of CO2 each year. ** This technology offers a cost-efficient and sustainable solution for companies seeking to reduce operating expenses and carbon footprint, while supporting critical climate goals globally. ## Clients Who Are Making a Global Impact ### Reefers-Refrigerated Trucking Case Studies #### Starbucks-DPI Reefers – Refrigerated Trailers Refrigerated Trucking-Reefers There are 500,000 Refrigerated Trailers in service in the United States and $5 Billion dollars is spent every year on new equipment, globally.
