Estimated TRU Population Sample Clauses

Estimated TRU Population. Total in use TRU units in California during 2003 to 2009 have ranged from 30,000 to 38,000 units depending on the fate of the state economy. The average TRU life-cycle is 15 years and there has been a steady build-up of units over the years. Previous estimates identified a stock of 27,087 TRU units in California26, of which 90% are truck based units. Separately from this stock, there may be a build-up of ‘parked’ TRU’s – apparently held at the major ports (San Diego, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Oakland) for disposal in California. 27 This could not be substantiated by Xxxxx, and is therefore not included in our analysis.

During the mid 1990s, the market increased at an average rate of 19%/year owing to increased production of refrigerated vans following the great economic expansion of the 1990s. Based on TRU stock data, Caleb determined the foam content (in m3) in the existing 2007 stock (Foam in TRUs). By adding the volume of new foams and subtracting the decommissioned foam, Xxxxx could estimate a revised volume for the total foam banked in Transport Refrigerated Units in 2008 (Revised Foam in TRUs).
