Daikin unveils new full-electric and plug-in hybrid transport refrigeration lineup at SOLUTRANS

Daikin will be showcasing its latest innovations in van, truck, and trailer refrigeration at SOLUTRANS, one of the transportation industry’s premier events. Its full-electric and plug-in hybrid lineup minimizes emissions from internal combustion engines.  Daikin will show its latest advancements in van, truck, and trailer refrigeration units this year, including its new trailer refrigeration unit Exigo, which includes the new Daikin Telematics connectivity platform.

Visitors will experience the transportation industry’s transition to greener energy sources and its adoption of digital technologies November 21–25, 2023 at Eurexpo Lyon (France). SOLUTRANS is the leading trade fair for haulage and urban transport professionals and the sector of heavy and light commercial vehicles.

Daikin Transportation Refrigeration and the Zanotti brand have decades of experience in commercial and industrial refrigeration, and the transportation of fresh and frozen products. Both are part of Daikin Europe, which is a subsidiary of the global group Daikin Industries, the world’s leading provider of refrigeration, cooling, heating, ventilation and air purification.
