SOMUNA

SOMUNA, an emerging smart logistics innovator from Korea, will showcase its AI-powered idle-free refrigeration system featuring an integrated Energy Storage System (ESS) at CES 2026. Designed to eliminate unnecessary engine idling, reduce logistics fuel costs, and lower CO₂ emissions, the company’s solution is supported by leading investors SK Innovation, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, and Korea’s Ministry of SMEs and Startups.Cold chain trucks worldwide face a persistent problem: refrigeration units require continuous engine idling, leading to significant fuel waste and carbon emissions. SOMUNA’s innovation eliminates this need by integrating an advanced lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery system, AI-driven energy optimization, and real-time monitoring.The system enables logistics companies to save an average of $3,300 (KRW 4.3 million) per vehicle annually while reducing CO₂ emissions by 8.4 tons. Beyond cost savings, the solution offers comprehensive data insights—including battery health, vehicle status, temperature, and carbon footprint tracking—helping fleet operators meet stringent ESG and regulatory requirements.“Our mission is to build a smarter, greener cold chain infrastructure that reduces operating costs and accelerates the transition to sustainable logistics,” said Jongwon Song, CEO of SOMUNA. “With the strong backing of SK Innovation, Samsung Fire & Marine, and the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, we are well-positioned to scale this technology globally.”As sustainability and AI-powered solutions dominate CES 2026, SOMUNA’s system highlights a critical advancement in both energy efficiency and supply chain transparency. The company’s innovation aligns with global trends in decarbonization, smart mobility, and next-generation logistics.Visitors can experience SOMUNA’s technology firsthand at CES 2026 Eureka Park, where live demonstrations of the hybrid refrigeration system and AI monitoring platform will be featured.
