Transport Refrigeration Units: a significant challenge on the road to zero-emission logistics

In 2023, the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management launched an action plan to make temperature-controlled transport more sustainable. A key knowledge gap was the contribution of transport refrigeration units (TRUs) to overall emissions. To close this gap, TNO conducted an extensive measurement program on TRU emissions in real-world operations. Monitoring TRUs in practice …

The Lancet: new evidence on asthma incidence attributable to NOx

Paediatric asthma incidence is associated with exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP), but the TRAP-attributable burden remains poorly quantified. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a major component and common proxy of TRAP. In a new study, researchers estimated the annual global number of new asthma cases attributable to NO2 exposure at a resolution sufficient to resolve …
