Dearman begins on-vehicle testing of Gen 2 transport refrigeration system powered by liquid air engine; lighter, more efficient

Green Car Congress

Dearman has begun on-vehicle testing of the Generation 2 zero-emission transport refrigeration system. As a result, the Dearman system is zero-emission, producing no harmful NO x or particulates, and it helps to significantly reduce CO 2 emissions. The only emission back to the atmosphere is air or nitrogen. Earlier post.)
