Swithenbank, a trading arm of BFS Group, will use the units for its chilled and frozen produce contracts. The Syberia’s engineless solution was chosen to prepare the fleet for compliance with inner-city delivery requirements on emissions and noise.
“Since their introduction to the fleet, the Syberia units have performed exceptionally well,” says Graham Rennie, director of fleet at BFS Group.
“After the single-temperature units gave us such great results for our chilled produce, we decided to increase the order and specify the multi-temperature variants to handle our frozen contracts.”
Both the Syberia and Syberia Twincool units are driven by the truck’s Euro VI engine and Carrier Transicold’s Eco-Drive power module, which uses a hydraulic pump connected to the truck’s engine power take-off. The variable displacement pump drives a generator, which delivers electrical power to the unit and provides high refrigeration capacity even at the standard idle speed often encountered in urban delivery operations.
The system also operates below the PIEK-compliant noise level of 60 dB(A), even at 100% capacity.
The new units are supplied with the everCOLD fixed cost full-service maintenance package, which includes annual temperature control testing and certification, full regulatory checks and access to the oneCALL 24/7 incident management service.
