Freshlinc selects Carrier Transicold for longer refrigerated trailers 03 January 2013

Freshlinc's first four extended length 14.6m refrigerated semitrailers have been fitted with Vector 1850 multi-temperature technology from Carrier Transicold.

"In our ambition to drive down road miles, we were keen to take part in the trial of extended length trailers and, naturally, it was Carrier we turned to ensure the temperature integrity of the additional load space this offers," states Freshlinc fleet engineer Andy Marchant.

"When you are seeking further efficiencies in transport operations you have to look closely at the equipment you are running and assess the long-term value and potential to deliver those all-important savings – be it fuel consumption, CO2 emissions or road miles," he adds.

To accommodate the additional trailer length, Carrier Transicold UK installed an extended wiring loom that connects the nose-mounted unit to a series of evaporators and temperature sensors throughout the vehicle.
