IIT Delhi Graduate Develops Battery-Powered Truck Refrigeration System to Cut Cooling Costs
Shaivee Malik, a 25-year-old IIT Delhi biotechnology graduate, and her team developed an independent lithium-ion battery-powered refrigeration system for trucks. This technology operates without relying on the truck's engine, reducing fuel consumption and emissions by allowing cooling even when the engine is off or the vehicle is stationary. The system can run for six to eight hours on a single charge and aims to cut cooling costs by up to 75%, helping reduce food spoilage during transportation across India.
