TRANSCRIPT

  • The CO2 emission of refrigerated vehicles in London is equivalent to a family car driving

    2.4m laps around the M25.Thats equivalent to 11,200 circuits of the earth

    LONDONS HIDDEN POLLUTERTransport refrigeration units (TRUs) keep refrigerated vehicles cold aiding the

    transportation of food and other temperature-sensitive products around the world. There are 84,000 operating in the UK and they are currently entirely unregulated.

    Making all TRUs in London zero-emission would remove the

    same amount of particulate matter, the sooty deposit from diesel, as

    taking 327,510 diesel cars or 29,982 trucks off the road

    A diesel car and a food delivery truck travel the

    same distance, but the truck pumps out 164 times the amount of

    particulate matterTRUs travel 84.6m

    miles around the streets of London each year, pumping 50,000

    tonnes of CO2 and 21.8m tonnes of particulate matter as

    they go

    London is home to the UKs

    50 most polluted

    areasTRUs emit 430% more

    NOx, an invisible pollutant that causes breathing

    difficulties than a standarddiesel truck engine
