Empa Develops Digital Twin for Refrigerated Trucks

The Swiss research institute is working on a digital replica to optimize the performance and energy efficiency of refrigerated trucks.

The Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) is developing a digital twin for refrigerated trucks to improve their performance and energy efficiency.

The digital twin will be a virtual replica of a refrigerated truck, allowing researchers to test and optimize various parameters such as insulation, refrigeration, and aerodynamics.

The goal is to reduce energy consumption and emissions from refrigerated trucks, which are a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector.
