Although the trailers have a similar specification to others in their fleet, they now include a range of environmentally-friendly features to enable a reduced carbon footprint and enhanced safety. This includes the new Carrier Transicold Vector HE 19 multi temperature refrigeration unit, with a quieter, more efficient engine and an aerodynamics package including a vortex generator on the roof to improve aerodynamic performance.
The new Vector HE 19 unit is said to be 3 dB(A) quieter in operation, around 50%, than the previous generation Vector 1950, reducing the chances of disturbing local communities when PRM is carrying out urban deliveries. The trailer also features a sliding interior bulkhead door, indicating side marker lights for enhanced safety, additional lights at the rear for greater visibility and a high quality GRP interior finish for easier cleaning.
Philip Morrow, PRM owner and managing director, said of the trailers: “Carrier Transicold’s new Vector HE 19s are already playing a big part in helping to improve our fleet efficiency and sustainability, primarily by delivering huge fuel savings compared to our previous fridge units.”
