Tackling Heat in UPS Vehicles: How Cryo X Co’s CryoPaint Can Help
It’s no secret that delivery drivers, like Edgar from Tempe, face unbearable heat inside their vehicles daily. Despite UPS's public announcement to add air conditioning to their fleet, drivers may be stuck in scorching conditions for years until existing vehicles fail. Edgar, driving a 200,000-mile UPS van, doesn’t expect to see air conditioning for another five to ten years. This presents an ongoing challenge for logistics companies and their employees as they battle heat that can reach dangerous levels inside vehicles.
These shocking thermal images from Edgar’s van show surface temperatures exceeding 135°F, even while parked in the shade. Such extreme conditions not only put drivers at risk but also affect the quality of the packages transported, especially sensitive items. Relying solely on air conditioning for cooling is not only inefficient but also expensive, as AC systems can consume up to 30% of a vehicle's fuel, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Additionally, for electric vehicles (EVs), the problem is even worse. EVs lose up to 50% of their range to AC usage in summer, adding strain to delivery schedules and increasing energy costs. The need for an innovative solution that actively reduces vehicle temperatures without relying on electricity is clear. That’s where CryoPaint from Cryo X Co comes in.
CryoPaint leverages Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling (PDRC) technology, a revolutionary method that cools surfaces by reflecting solar energy and radiating heat back into space. With CryoPaint, you can reduce the temperature inside a vehicle by up to 15°F without any power. It’s a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution that can be retrofitted to any vehicle for under $1,000, including labor.
By applying CryoPaint to delivery vehicles, companies can improve both driver safety and fuel efficiency. Drivers like Edgar will no longer have to work in dangerously high temperatures, reducing the risk of heat-related illnesses. At the same time, logistics companies can save money on fuel and increase the range of their EV fleets by cutting down on air conditioning usage.
With rising temperatures and the ongoing challenges of climate change, solutions like CryoPaint are becoming more critical. UPS and other logistics companies have an opportunity to lead the way in driver safety and environmental responsibility by adopting this cutting-edge technology. Not only does CryoPaint protect drivers, but it also reduces the company’s carbon footprint, aligning with sustainability goals and reducing overall energy consumption.
Further benefits of CryoPaint include better protection for the packages being transported. Heat-sensitive goods, from electronics to food products, can deteriorate or spoil in the excessive heat often found in delivery vehicles. By keeping the vehicle interior cooler, CryoPaint ensures that packages arrive at their destinations in optimal condition.
For companies looking to adopt greener practices, CryoPaint is a no-brainer. Its energy-efficient, non-electric cooling method helps to reduce dependence on air conditioning systems, cutting down on fuel consumption and emissions. This makes it an ideal solution for companies seeking to balance operational efficiency with environmental responsibility.
In conclusion, Cryo X Co's CryoPaint offers a simple, affordable, and effective solution to the ongoing heat challenges faced by delivery drivers and logistics companies. For under $1,000 per vehicle, companies can retrofit their fleet with technology that improves safety, reduces costs, and supports sustainability initiatives. With benefits for both drivers and the environment, it’s time to make the switch to CryoPaint and lead the future of delivery logistics.
