^^ So maybe some insulated thermal mass? And/or phase-change material?
You could "add cool" to it when engine braking, or lengthen the on and off cycles of the A/C compressor, reducing the number of times it turns on. Maybe a second A/C compressor, to get the most out of engine braking?
If facilities are available, you could also charge this "cool storage" via plug in before you start a trip. For this you may want A/C run off of an electrical compressor, not off the engine. Then you could also use batteries to reduce the load on the engine/alternator.
