The Cool Run Pod, hereafter called CR Pod, is an innovative new product that will reduce the harmful non-tail-pipe emissions from transport refrigeration units as per the scope of the SBRI Competition. CR Pod brings together several existing and emerging technologies to create the world’s first non-diesel, last mile, independently monitored refrigerated delivery system that can operate as a fully independent system or part of an automated distribution network with high component recyclability and reparability. CR Pod has been developed by Hubl with support from the University of Lincoln, hereafter to referred to UoL, to link the proposed new product with current research and analysis on the emissions savings which could be achieved through its commercialisation. Studies to date have identified that the CR Pod could lead to the removal of all refrigeration units from vans and lorries in urban areas, saving an estimated 120m Kg of Co2 and associated Nox emissions per annum in the UK in line with the Clean Air Strategy Chapter 5 - ‘Action to reduce emissions from transport’. CR Pod has a clear plan for commercialisation and route to market. The fresh and frozen food market is exponentially growing due to the demand for grocery home delivery, convenience store fulfilment and the growing restaurant and foodservice market, but currently relies on the use of specialist refrigerated vehicles which are on the rise for urban deliveries. These are currently cooled by compressor driven diesel-fuelled cooling units mounted on to the truck to provide power for the refrigeration system or in the case of electric vehicles, they draw power from the principal drivetrain or additional batteries. In 2017, Professor Toby Peters, Chair in Power and Cold Economy, University of Birmingham, said: “Until now, nobody has given transport refrigeration units a thought. They are unregulated, use out-dated, fossil-fuelled technology and are disproportionately polluting. What’s worse, their pollution is concentrated on city streets where it does the most damage to our health.” CR Pod responds to this and the scope of this SBRI Competition through the development of an alternative concept to mobile refrigeration units – a lightweight, durable, cost-effective containment system for the transportation of food and pharmaceuticals, primarily for the last mile of delivery (meaning from the point of order assemble to the final destination and delivered within an eight hour delivery round). The CR Pod completely removes the needs for a compressor driven diesel-fuelled unit. It is a disruptive technology, integrating a range of innovative technologies, not previously used in combination in the multi-temperature delivery market, to provide a product which can be easily integrated into the logistics supply chain. The CR Pod is technically innovative and through extensive research and development, Hubl believes it can provide a simple solution in terms of deliverability, scalability and affordability, with a clear route to market and huge potential to support the Clean Air Strategy and UK Industrial Strategy. It is also replicable and scalable across the globe where markets are already growing.

Cool Run Pod（以下简称 CR Pod）是一款创新产品，根据 SBRI 竞赛的范围，它将减少运输制冷装置的有害非尾气排放，汇集了多项现有和新兴技术来创造。 Hubl 开发了世界上第一个非柴油、最后一英里、独立监控的冷藏配送系统，该系统可以作为完全独立的系统运行，也可以作为自动化配送网络的一部分运行，具有较高的组件可回收性和可修复性。在林肯大学（以下简称 UoL）的支持下，将拟议的新产品与当前通过其商业化可实现的减排研究和分析联系起来。 迄今为止的研究表明，CR Pod 可能会带来以下效果。根据《清洁空气战略》第 5 章“减少排放的行动”，在城市地区拆除货车和卡车上的所有制冷装​​置，预计英国每年可减少 1.2 亿公斤二氧化碳和相关氮氧化物排放。由于杂货送货上门、便利店配送以及不断增长的餐厅和餐饮服务市场的需求，CR Pod 制定了明确的商业化和市场路线计划。使用专业冷藏车进行城市配送的情况越来越多，目前这些车辆通过安装在卡车上的压缩机驱动的柴油冷却装置来冷却，为制冷系统提供动力，或者对于电动汽车来说，它们从以下设备获取动力。校长2017 年，伯明翰大学动力与冷经济系主任托比·彼得斯 (Toby Peters) 教授表示：“到目前为止，没有人考虑过运输制冷装置，它们不受监管，使用过时的化石燃料。更糟糕的是，它们的污染集中在对我们的健康造成最大损害的城市街道上。”移动制冷装置的概念——一种轻质、耐用、经济高效的密封系统，用于食品和药品运输，主要用于最后一英里的交付（意味着从订单点组装到最终目的地并在八小时内交付） CR Pod 完全消除了对压缩机驱动的柴油机组的需求。这是一项颠覆性技术，集成了一系列以前未在多温度输送市场中组合使用的创新技术。可以轻松集成到CR Pod 在技术上具有创新性，通过广泛的研究和开发，Hubl 相信它可以在交付能力、可扩展性和可承受性方面提供简单的解决方案，具有清晰的市场路线和支持清洁空气战略的巨大潜力。它也可以在市场已经增长的全球范围内复制和扩展。
