Called the B-100 30, it offers an electric heating option within the same compact dimensions as the existing B-Series range and, says Thermo King, is ideally suited to ‘last mile’ delivery operations.
The B-Series zero-emission electric units are powered directly from the vehicle battery. They are compatible with vehicles equipped with original air conditioning system requiring no drive kit or vehicle modification, while the thin ceiling-mounted evaporator contributes to increased payload space.
The new B-100 30 unit adds electric heating option to this range, providing constant electrical cooling and heating capacities. Heating capacity is independent from vehicle engine and ambient temperature.
Eneko Fernandez, product management leader at Thermo King, describes it as “the perfect fit” for operators looking for high-performance refrigeration for home deliveries or pharma transport.
“Having no diesel engine, the unit gives transporters the flexibility of inner-city, low-emission zone operations and contributes to the low total cost of ownership,” says Fernandez.
