DESCRIPTION
Infographic - London's Hidden Polluter
Citation preview
The CO2 emission of refrigerated vehicles in London is equivalent to a family car driving
2.4m laps around the M25.Thats equivalent to 11,200 circuits of the earth
LONDONS HIDDEN POLLUTERTransport refrigeration units (TRUs) keep refrigerated vehicles cold aiding the
transportation of food and other temperature-sensitive products around the world. There are 84,000 operating in the UK and they are currently entirely unregulated.
Making all TRUs in London zero-emission would remove the
same amount of particulate matter, the sooty deposit from diesel, as
taking 327,510 diesel cars or 29,982 trucks off the road
A diesel car and a food delivery truck travel the
same distance, but the truck pumps out 164 times the amount of
particulate matterTRUs travel 84.6m
miles around the streets of London each year, pumping 50,000
tonnes of CO2 and 21.8m tonnes of particulate matter as
they go
London is home to the UKs
50 most polluted
areasTRUs emit 430% more
NOx, an invisible pollutant that causes breathing
difficulties than a standarddiesel truck engine
