Inadequate food distribution system originates losses and wastes. So, in Perú, the fleet trucks transporting food usually do not have incorporated cooling systems. In this context a proposal for an ecoinnovative hybrid system with solar energy cooling and exhaust gas refrigeration for transporter food trucks has been developed. The methodology consisted of a review of literature and patents on cooling systems by adsorption, the estimation of the cooling load for truck, the selection of a cooling system by adsorption and its heat requirements, and the definition of energy supply, hybridizing solar energy with exhaust gases as energy sources. The integration of these two energy source modules, according to Wu et al (2011) and Luo et al (2007) was completed during the conceptual design phase. The main results of this study was a conceptual thermodynamic design integrating two complementary and synergistic sources of energy, the same that should be contrasted with a cooling prototype to be built.
