Carrier Transicold has seen market penetration of engineless systems in Western Europe reach 40% over the past six years, reports Victor Calvo, the vendor's vice president and general manager. He believes that 50% of Carrier's sales will soon be electric across all segments. In the UK, the trend looks set to be accelerated by the end of the use of red diesel in transport refrigeration systems. Expensive white diesel now has to be used instead - and is vulnerable to theft. Go electric, and you need to decide where your power is going to come from. If the vehicle itself is electric, then one option is to use the traction batteries. That is the solution offered by Carrier's new Pulsor eCool. Developed for light commercials, and capable of handling fully frozen as well as chilled traffic, it offers 4kW of cooling capacity. The current it draws typically reduces the van's range between recharges by less than 10km, Carrier contends. |
