ASKO VEST AS Adopts Thermo King Electric Refrigeration for Sustainable Logistics

ASKO VEST AS is now using electric city and drawbar trailers refrigerated with Thermo King’s electric V-1000 and Frigoblock HKi systems, independently powered by E-COOLPAC battery packs.

This initiative supports ASKO VEST AS’s aim to achieve a fully electric vehicle fleet by the end of 2026. Having started their transition from diesel to electric vehicles in 2021, the company is now at the forefront of using independent electric refrigeration systems. These include electric drawbar trailers with Thermo King’s V-1000 units and battery-electric city trailers featuring Frigoblock’s HKi units, operating in Bergen, Tromsø, and Oslo.

The refrigeration units are powered by Thermo King’s 70kWh and 105kWh E-COOLPAC battery packs, ensuring a chassis-independent, fully electric, and autonomous operation. This technology, developed by AKSA, a Swiss energy systems manufacturer, assures reliable and efficient temperature control for diverse distribution demands.
