7.1.3   Cold air supply on trucks/trains
When transporting goods by rail or by road, clip-ons may be used to supply cold air to porthole containers, in which case a generator is needed to deliver the required 3-phase power.
 
In Australia and the USA, clip-ons using liquid nitrogen for refrigeration are also occasionally used. The advantage of this is that no external power supply is required to operate such units.
