Why refrigerated trucks consume more fuel than ordinary trucks?

When a refrigerated truck is in motion, the fuel not only supports the operation of the vehicle, but also the operation of the refrigeration unit. The continuous operation of the refrigeration unit requires a constant supply of electricity, and the engine in the vehicle is the key component that converts the kinetic energy of the fuel into kinetic energy.

The vehicle's structure contains a battery that stores a small amount of electricity. Once the vehicle is turned off, the battery will easily run out, and the vehicle will be unable to start unless there is a spare battery in the vehicle or a nearby repair department to charge it. The high fuel consumption of refrigerated trucks is easy to understand. They require far more power than ordinary vehicles, and this high power consumption will be converted into fuel consumption.

Different models of refrigerated trucks have different fuel consumption. In addition, frequent lane changes and curve driving, long periods of low-speed driving, sudden braking, abnormal tire pressure, and driving at high speed with windows open will all lead to increased fuel consumption.
