Performance Food Group Co., which owns Vistar Corp., the nationwide convenience services wholesale product distributor, has introduced 10 net-zero emission refrigeration trailers to its fleet at the company's Gilroy, California distribution center, according to a press release.

Through a partnership with Advanced Energy Machines, the transport refrigeration units are solar-supported electric refrigeration solutions that have the capability of maintaining temperatures down to minus 20-degrees Fahrenheit.

The California Air Resources Board plans to require zero-emission requirements on TRUs operated and sold in California by the end of 2029.
