A large step in reducing emissions regularly associated with frozen deliveries has come from installing Dole Plate freezers in delivery trucks. This technology uses eutectic steel plates, which are charged overnight with an electric powered refrigeration compressor.

 

The compressor charges a re-usable eutectic solution inside the plates which, once charged, keeps the trucks cold during an entire day of deliveries. Unlike regular refrigerated trucks, which must run inefficient, emissions generating on board generators at all times to keep things cold, Dole Plate Trucks require no emissions generating input to be charged.
