A method of operating a transport refrigeration unit (130) of a vehicle (100) comprises determining a vehicle route from a current location of the vehicle (100) to a final destination of the vehicle (100); determining whether to operate a refrigeration system (150) of the transport refrigeration unit (130) in a normal mode or an economy mode; and operating the refrigeration system (150) in the economy mode. Operating the refrigeration system (150) in the economy mode comprises one or more of: (i) increasing a trigger temperature of the refrigeration system (150) relative to a trigger temperature of the refrigeration system (150) in the normal mode; (ii) operating a compressor (152), a condenser fan and/or an evaporator fan of the refrigeration system (150) at a lower power than in the normal mode, wherein the refrigeration system (150) provides more energy efficient cooling when the compressor, a condenser fan and/or an evaporator fan is operated at the lower power; and (iii) preventing a cooling operation of the refrigeration system (150) between a first intermediate destination and a second intermediate destination along the vehicle route.
