DHL introduction of 32 new temperature-controlled trailers to its Burton’s Biscuits fleet

DHL Supply Chain announces the introduction of 32 new temperature-controlled trailers to its Burton’s Biscuits fleet, each fitted with Carrier Transicold Vector HE 19 units. The new units were specified by DHL and will support its GoGreen plan with fuel and energy savings, while increasing the efficiency of the Burton’s Biscuits operation.

The 32 new units replace older assets and combine all-electric technology with a new multi-speed engine design, delivering up to 30% fuel savings over the previous model. The system’s fully hermetic scroll compressor and economiser provide a 40% increase in refrigeration capacity during temperature pull-down, as well as a 50% reduction in refrigerant escape, saving energy across the renewed fleet.

When plugged into the electrical grid on standby, the new system is also 19% more efficient, translating into reduced diesel, maintenance and electricity costs. In addition, the units significantly reduce sound pollution.
