That this House recognises the important role of decarbonising refrigerated transport in tackling climate change; acknowledges the current system of keeping goods, especially food and medicine, chilled and frozen during delivery means running diesel engines on the back of trucks generating emissions and burning fuel even when vehicles are stationary is unsustainable; celebrates the work of innovative companies delivering zero-emission transport refrigeration units using roof-mounted panels and batteries to maintain temperatures without diesel; and calls on the Government to deliver a cross-departmental plan to decarbonise refrigerated transport and strengthen resilience against climate, energy and cyber threats.
