The Cool Run system optimises the handling of food through a novel insulated pod system, which controls the temperature of individual unit loads. The system reduces vehicle cold air losses through door openings and retains the refrigerated air during multiple drops on the last mile delivery run. The pod system maintains the product at optimal temperatures so preventing thermal gain and product going above the legal temperature requirements. The reduction in thermal gain due to the breaks in the cold chain is avoided between storage locations, transport modes, delivery vehicle and final destination, so reducing the energy required to re-cool the products. Retention of product integrity and security, along with handling efficiencies will also contribute to the commercial viability of the concept.Cool Run is a concept for a temperature controlled product containment system for the transport of food and pharmaceuticals; it has the potential to reduce emissions from mobile refrigeration units, vehicle brakes, road surfaces and overall emissions relating to urban transport for last mile deliveries. The Cool Run project is applying a whole system approach to mitigate these issues by the combination of best in class technologies and the introduction of a new innovative unit load containment device which is the focus of the project. These combined technologies will enable urban delivery networks to operate in a significantly more efficient manner.The challenges related to multi-temperature food deliveries in urban areas are significant; mobile refrigeration system related, poor vehicle payloads and the impact on drivetrain selection. Demand for urban deliveries is growing expediently due to the demand for grocery home delivery, convenience store fulfilment and the booming restaurant and foodservice market. These trends are increasing in a less efficient model of food distribution as individual delivery units’ sizes declines. These trends and associated issues represent a significant market opportunity which the Cool Run system addresses. The system provides a generic solution for both home and commercial deliveries.Most technology developments relating to mobile refrigeration and other vehicle emissions reductions have focused on specific vehicle-related components,e.g. improve chiller technologies. Emissions are not only created by the technology used but how they are used. Inefficiencies within the existing logistics system significantly contribute to the issues, e.g. Regular and prolonged opening of chiller box doors, sorting and picking activities on the vehicle extending dwell time, poor delivery sequencing, the distance between drops, stem milage to drop zone. Ineffective unit load containment, mixed systems- pallets, cages and loos-stacked products all resulting in poor load density and overall vehicle fill.

Cool Run 系统通过新颖的隔热吊舱系统优化食品处理，该系统控制单个单元负载的温度，该系统减少了车辆冷空气通过门开口的损失，并在最后一英里配送过程中的多次下降过程中保留了冷冻空气。吊舱系统将产品保持在最佳温度，从而防止热增益和产品超过法定温度要求，从而避免了存储地点、运输方式、运输车辆和最终目的地之间因冷链中断而导致的热增益减少。所以减少能量保持产品完整性和安全性以及处理效率也将有助于该概念的商业可行性。Cool Run 是用于运输食品和药品的温度控制产品密封系统的概念；它有潜力减少移动制冷装置、车辆制动器、路面的排放以及与最后一英里交付的城市交通相关的总体排放。Cool Run 项目正在应用整体系统方法，通过结合一流的技术来缓解这些问题。技术和新的引入创新的单位负载遏制装置是该项目的重点，这些组合技术将使城市配送网络以更加高效的方式运行。与城市地区的多温度食品配送相关的挑战是巨大的；由于杂货送货上门、便利店配送以及蓬勃发展的餐厅和餐饮服务市场的需求，城市配送的需求正在迅速增长，而这些趋势在效率较低的食品配送模式中不断增加。个人这些趋势和相关问题代表了 Cool Run 系统所解决的重大市场机会，该系统为家庭和商业交付提供了通用解决方案。与移动制冷和其他车辆减排相关的大多数技术发展都集中在这一点上。与特定车辆相关的部件，例如改进冷却器技术，排放不仅是由所使用的技术产生的，而且是由现有物流系统的低效率造成的，例如定期和长时间打开冷却器箱门。车辆上的分拣和拣选活动延长了停留时间、不良的交付顺序、掉落区域之间的距离、到掉落区域的干行里程、无效的单位负载遏制、混合系统（托盘、笼子和松散堆放的产品）都会导致负载密度和整体状况不佳。车辆填充。
