Way to cool huge trucks, eco-friendly way.

In the article below, they talk about a brand new way to cool large trucks in a way that helps the environment. When truckers are inside of their trucks, the smell of diesel, the taste of the exhaust fumes, and feeling of the truck vibrating. The people who drive the trucks let their trucks idle during the humid days, while they rest to keep the air conditioning going. The new way that scientist thought of is when the truckers turn their truck off, they pull a handle which gets the coolant around the ice and lets cool air blow from the unit into the extra area in the truck. This doesn't use any fuel.

I think that this process is very efficient because if the gas prices go up any time soon, this will be an easier way to save money. Also, since truckers drive for hundreds and thousands of miles, their trucks use many gallons of gas, so this will save them a load of money.
