ABSTRACT:
A vehicle interior cooling system (100) for a vehicle having a cabin (108) and an engine (107) for providing propulsion power is disclosed. The vehicle interior cooling system includes a cabin cooling system (102) driven by the engine of the vehicle and an electrically driven cooling system (103) having a cold storage device (110) coupled to the vehicle. The electrically driven cooling system selectively thermally charges the cold storage device when the engine is in an on and/or off position.
