The Primafrio Group, an international logistics service provider and European market leader in the temperature-controlled road transport of fruit and vegetables, has added 200 S.KO COOL reefer semi-trailers from Schmitz Cargobull to its fleet. The latest generation of reefer semi-trailers are equipped with the S.CU d80 transport refrigeration unit and the TrailerConnect telematics system from Schmitz Cargobull.
"This acquisition represents an important milestone for our company, as we are using Schmitz Cargobull's innovative vehicles for the first time, reinforcing our commitment to excellent logistics and impeccable service for our customers. Schmitz Cargobull's reputation gives us unwavering confidence in the quality and efficiency of its semi-trailers," said José Esteban Conesa, President of Primafrio.
Andreas Schmitz, CEO of Schmitz Cargobull, expressed his satisfaction with the partnership during his visit to the Primafrio Group's headquarters: "We are delighted to be working with a leading company like Primafrio. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to excellence and innovation in refrigerated transport. We are excited about the journey we have embarked on together and are confident this partnership will be beneficial for both parties".
The 200 S.KO COOL reefer semi-trailers have a galvanised chassis for which Schmitz Cargobull offers a 10-year anti-corrosion warranty. To achieve optimum cooling performance, the semi-trailers are equipped with the powerful S.CU d80 transport refrigeration unit. This is characterised by low noise and an emission-optimised engine. A solar panel on the roof of the transport refrigeration unit protects the battery from deep discharge and ensures a constant energy supply.
The trailers are equipped with additional features such as the digital temperature recorder, the new air distribution system and a full-service package that includes maintenance, wear and tear repairs and breakdown assistance.
Primafrio relies on TrailerConnect telematics for efficient, sustainable fleet and temperature management. This enables real-time monitoring of important parameters, such as temperature, tyre pressure, trailer location, etc. It also gives the operator a better overview and improved control over his trailers and load. And lastly, it is in line with the Primafrio Group's ambition to offer the highest quality standards and ensure the delivery of all types of goods under optimal conditions. For the financing of the new S.KO COOL refrigerated semi-trailers, Primafrio has opted for a leasing model from Cargobull Finance, which offers greater financial flexibility.
