A method for energy management of a motor vehicle carrying a container powered by an auxiliary power unit is provided. The method comprises determining total energy resources available on the motor vehicle for propulsion of the motor vehicle and for powering the container; determining a first energy fraction of the total energy resources required to power the container with the auxiliary power unit along a route of the motor vehicle; determining a second energy fraction of the total energy resources required to power at least one main motor of the motor vehicle to reach a target destination with the motor vehicle along the route of the motor vehicle; and reallocating at least a fraction of the total energy resources from the auxiliary power unit to the at least one main motor of the motor vehicle or vice versa depending on the first energy fraction and the second energy fraction.
