VISION
Changing The Meaning of Efficiency In Cold Storage Trucking
At Foregger Energy Solutions (FES), we are making hybridization accessible to reefers at any stage in their lifespan. Our vision is to bridge the gap between modern energy solutions and existing fleet infrastructure, ensuring businesses can seamlessly integrate hybrid technology without premature equipment turnover. By leveraging cost-effective retrofitting, we empower fleets to reduce diesel dependence, increase operational efficiency, and enhance backup power reliability, all while aligning with sustainability goals. At FES, we believe efficiency isn’t just about performance, it’s about creating practical, scalable pathways to a greener future.
PRODUCT
Transport Refrigeration Unit Electrified (TRUE)
TRUE is an innovative, eco-friendly solution designed to drastically reduce diesel consumption, act as a back up generator for the compressor system, help units adhere to environmental standards, and to offer a convenient way to modernize pre-existing reefer units. Powered via regenerative braking and battery storage, TRUE offers a more efficient and cost effective method to powering refrigeration. Engineered for easy integration, it's a retrofit to existing trucks, making sustainability accessible and economically viable for fleets of all sizes.

Reduce diesel consumption by up to 80% within the reefer unit, translating to significant annual cost savings.
Lowers carbon emissions by 20-25% within entire unit, aligning with corporate sustainability goals.
The system offers seamless instillation during trucks annual maintenance, minimizing downtime, and operates independently of external power sources.
TRUE can be utilized as a backup generator in order to minimize refrigeration failure and enhance fleet reliability.
PROBLEM
What's Wrong With Cold Storage Trucking Trailers?
Diesel Consumption
Fully operational reefer units spend approximately 18,000 - 30,000 USD to run exclusively their refrigeration every year. With few widely adopted solutions this leads to increased operational costs and a ever growing bottom line.
Unit Failure
Reefer units fail approximately 11.4% of the time due to engine malfunction, lack of monitoring, and poor temperature control. The 100k’s of product lost during this failure are a cost incurred by the logistics or transporting company.
ESG & Policy
Heavy duty trucks produce 23% of all C02 emissions in the US transportation sector, although they only account for 2% of on road vehicles. With the implementation of environmental initiates such as the EPA’s Clean Trucks Plan alternatives such as hybrid and electric semi units are being pushed. w
Adaptability
With the price of full Electric and Hybrid systems costing approximately 175k more than current diesel models, having a charge time of up to 6 hours, and little charging infrastructure in the United States, these are not currently efficient operational nor fiscal models.
WHY FES
ECONOMIC VIABILITY
PAIRED WITH SUSTAINABILITY
TRUE provides a practical pathway to sustainability without compromising economic viability. With electric and hybrid trucks costing around $175,000 more than traditional diesel options and facing limited charging infrastructure, many businesses struggle to adopt fully electric fleets. Foregger TRUE addresses these barriers by retrofitting existing diesel trucks with regenerative braking technology, delivering significant fuel savings and emission reductions while maintaining a diesel failsafeapplication for reliability. This approach offers a cost-effective, eco-friendly solution, bypassing the high price and infrastructure requirements of fully electric or hybrid alternatives, making sustainable practices more accessible for cold storage trucking businesses.
