The Co-operative Group is continuing a decade-long policy of selecting Carrier Transicold UK truck refrigeration equipment, with the delivery of 330 new Supra and Vector temperature-controlled systems.
 The delivery includes 171 Supra 950 MT (multi-temperature) systems, mounted to 18- and 26-tonne Scania rigids, and 159 Vector 1850 MT units on a variety of Gray & Adams refrigerated trailers.
Both the rigid trucks and refrigerated semi-trailers feature twin-compartment load spaces, offering maximum transport flexibility, combined with slimline Carrier evaporators for ease of loading.
"In our business, it is essential to specify equipment that is cost-effective, robust and flexible, but which is also backed-up by the highest standards of aftermarket support," says Ken Thompson, group transport manager of the Co-operative.
"With Carrier Transicold, we get the whole package. It's why I have personally specified more than 1,000 Carrier units for our fleet since 2002," he adds.
The new vehicles and trailers are expected to remain in service with The Co-operative for the next seven years. They join a temperature-controlled fleet that already includes more than 550 rigid trucks, 900 trailers and 600 tractor units.
