The first trailer with the new refrigeration unit has started operation in the Netherlands

Thermo King announced that the first trailer featuring the new Advancer-e engineless and electric trailer refrigeration unit started operations in the Netherlands. The trailer is part of Refrigerated Trailer Rentals Holland (RTR) fleet and is operated by Dailycool, a company specialising in transport and logistics services of meat, vegetables and fruit products. 

RTR is headquartered in the Netherlands and offers short and long-term rental of fully spec’d refrigerated trailers to customers in Benelux, Germany and the United Kingdom. Already operating a large fleet of Thermo King Advancer A-Series refrigerated trailers, RTR is committed to offering their clients the most efficient and sustainable solutions available on the market. 

The new electric Advancer-e unit in RTR fleet is powered by the Thermo King Energ-e Pack (battery and power management system), while the refrigeration unit has been designed to be power-agnostic and compatible with all major engine-alternative power sources including the Thermo King AxlePower, Frigoblock’s alternator and inverter technology, as well as shore-power when stationed at the depot.

With its fully electric architecture, one Advancer-e unit can reduce a trailer fleet’s carbon footprint by up to 10 tonnes of CO2 per year. Advancer-e is compatible with any tractor for inner-city deliveries or for long-haul assignments ensuring no direct emissions, whisper quiet operation and fewer moving parts that mean lower overall maintenance requirements and cost. The flexibility of the Advancer-e enables transport companies to be more than a step ahead of changing low-emission legislation. Combined with the same A-Series controller and intuitive telematics, the Advancer-e delivers sustainability advantages and temperature control efficiency - top strategic priorities for many transport companies making the move toward full electrification. 

All Thermo King Advancer units are manufactured in the Thermo King’s state-of-the art and carbon neutral (ISO 14064-1) production line in Galway, Ireland.
