Carrier Transicold has introduced the Vector 1550 City trailer refrigeration unit, with noise levels below 60dB and a standard 'nose-mount' installation.
Lionel Pourcheresse, Carrier Transicold Europe's product manager, says that the unit has already been certified compliant with PIEK – Europe's most stringent noise standard, introduced in the Netherlands in 2003 for night deliveries.
Vector 1550 City meets the requirements of customers receiving deliveries at night. It does this by reducing the sound emitted by the standard Vector 1550 by more than 10dB, using the same all-electric technology and ensuring low fuel consumption with improved reliability and light weight.
"We have seen a rising demand, from the retail business sector in particular, for low-noise units," comments Pourcheresse.
"The Vector 1550 City is very much in line with this market development and is customer-driven. Using PIEK-certified refrigeration units demonstrates concern for the general well-being of the public and drivers."
