Reducing Harmful Emissions From Urban Food Transport Systems
Urban food logistics systems are responsible for significant environmental impact, with traditional diesel-powered refrigerated vehicles contributing substantially to harmful emissions in city centers. In this comprehensive seminar, David May, Chief Product Officer at Hubl Logistics, will present revolutionary approaches to eliminating these emissions while maintaining the critical temperature control required for food safety and quality.
Drawing from Hubl Logistics' pioneering work with their CoolRun technology, David will demonstrate how innovative thermal battery systems and smart airflow design can completely replace conventional refrigeration units. The presentation will showcase real-world data from ongoing trials with major UK food supply chain partners, revealing both environmental benefits and operational efficiencies achieved through this technology transformation.
Attendees will gain insights into the technical innovations behind zero-emission temperature control, including remote monitoring capabilities and seamless integration strategies for existing urban delivery networks. David will also address the broader implications for global food security, particularly highlighting how these solutions can combat the 45% food waste currently experienced in emerging markets due to inadequate cold chain infrastructure.
The session will conclude with practical guidance on implementation pathways, funding opportunities, and collaborative approaches that enable food retailers, logistics providers, and urban planners to work together in creating sustainable, emission-free food distribution systems. This presentation offers actionable strategies for organizations committed to reducing their environmental footprint while improving operational efficiency in urban food logistics.
