TIP Group Brings GreenChill Solar-Electric Refrigeration to Fleets via Leasing and Trial

TIP Group has made GreenChill's retrofit solar-electric refrigeration system available to transport operators through monthly leasing and a "try-before-you-hire" trial, allowing adoption within existing refrigerated fleets without replacing trailers.

The monthly leasing arrangement is designed to lower the upfront financial barrier to adopting low-emission refrigeration. Operators can also evaluate the GreenChill system in their own operations through TIP's trial scheme without entering a long-term commitment.

The GreenChill retrofit system is one element of TIP's wider range of low- and zero-emission refrigeration technologies, which also includes battery- and solar-powered refrigeration units and energy-recuperation axle technologies sourced from various manufacturers.

Lucy Crofts, Operations Manager at GreenChill Systems, noted that pairing the company's solar-electric technology with TIP's flexible leasing and trial options enables operators to begin reducing emissions immediately while also seeing fuel-cost savings from day one. Mark Carlin, Fleet & Engineering Director at TIP, added that the combination of the retrofit solar-electric system and e-reefer trials lets operators experience the technology in their existing fleets with no upfront investment or long-term commitment, removing the cost and uncertainty that typically slow adoption and providing real-world evidence of system performance.
