Logistics BusinessThermo King and Frigoblock at London’s ‘Freight in the City’ Today

Transport Solution businesses Thermo King and Frigoblock of Ingersoll Rand, a world leader in creating comfortable, sustainable and efficient environments, will be at the Freight in the City Expo in London today to share the company’s expertise in environmentally sustainable refrigerated transport and discuss future-proof solutions for efficient delivery operations in inner-city, low-emission zones.

Thermotopia – vision of the city of the future

Thermo King and Frigoblock recently introduced a series of truck and trailer innovations harnessing the power of electricity, data and clean technology and presented their vision of a city of the future – Thermotopia.

Thermotopia is a city where the transport refrigeration industry ensures the safety of transported foods and goods for rising populations while eliminating smog, congestion and excessive noise. Thermotopia is where technologies help transport companies stay ahead of the regulations and grow their businesses with increasingly cost effective and environmentally sustainable solutions.

The entire host of solutions from Thermo King and Frigoblock are proven technologies ranging from hybrid units, CryoTech, electric alternator driven Frigoblock units also working with CNG or LNG engines to fully electric independent units for small and large vans for last mile delivery.

This portfolio addresses the needs of transport companies in the UK and Europe, who are looking for ways to future-proof their operations as cities explore and implement low-emission zones and European Union sets strict targets for carbon emissions and reduction of major air pollutants.

“Market first” technology and the new E-200, full-electric refrigeration unit

At the Freight in the City Expo, Thermo King and Frigoblock will showcase the E-200, full-electric refrigeration unit, one of their “market first” technologies that lead with electricity, connectivity and sustainability to revolutionize the way transport companies operate.

The new E-200, designed for both electric and engine-powered vans and trucks below 3,5 tons, can provide constant capacity and performance independently of the vehicle’s operation.

Thermo King partnered with Petit Forestier, European leader in refrigeration rental to showcase an all-electric, zero-emission and low-noise refrigerated van at the recent IAA Commercial Vehicle show in Hannover, Germany. Petit Forestier’s Renault Master Z.E., a 3,1 ton electric van equipped with the Thermo King E-200 unit was available for visitors at the show.
