摘要：	McLaughlan Transport has fitted the first of three Hultsteins Ecogen systems to one of three new DAF105 XF tractors which is expected to make significant cuts in fuel consumption. "We ordered the new units with a factory-fitted PTO (power take-off) so the Ecogen system could be put to work straight away" providing power to on-board fridges, says managing director George McLaughlan. "We are the first in Scotland to benefit from Hultsteins' onboard generators. With the use of gas oil for diesel-powered fridges stopping on 1 April, the price of fuel is going to rocket. Plus, with carbon emissions now high on the environmental list of concerns, it seems like the best thing to do." Specialising in temperature-controlled haulage, McLaughlan Transport also moves a significant number of ISO containers from 'farm to dock', containing temperature-sensitive cargo. Added the MD: "This is where the Ecogen system will really benefit our customers. Normally, the fridge systems on these ISO containers require an electric plug-in, and of course when they are on the road, unless the trailer has an on-board genset, the load will not remain temperature controlled. With Ecogen however, Hultsteins has provided a special converter so the Suzie can simply plug straight in and keep driving the fridge. Currently, we are the only transporter who can provide this facility."
