An interface system for connecting a vehicle and a transport climate control system (TCCS) is disclosed. The interface system includes a two-way communication interface that connects a vehicle electrical system (VES) controller and a TCCS controller. The interface system also includes a power interface that connects a vehicle energy source of the VES to the TCCS and a TCCS energy source of the TCCS to the VES. The two-way communication interface is configured to distribute a TCCS status from the TCCS controller to the VES controller, and is configured to distribute a VES status from the VES controller to the TCCS controller. The power interface is configured to distribute power from the vehicle energy source to the TCCS when a VES instruction is received, and distribute power from the TCCS energy source to the VES when a TCCS instruction is received.
An interface system for communicating with a vehicle and a transport climate control system (TCCS) that provides climate control within an internal space moved by the vehicle, the interface system comprising:
A method for interfacing between a vehicle and a transport climate control system (TCCS) that provides climate control within an internal space moved by the vehicle, the method comprising:
