THERMO King has collaborated with Mercedes-Benz to create a fully electric, refrigerated eSprinter prototype for local zero-emission last mile urban delivery of pharmaceuticals and medicines.
The Mercedes-Benz eSprinter Pharma prototype features the all-electric E-200 refrigeration unit and the new lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery from Thermo King which when combined deliver independent and constant capacity ensuring an unbroken cold chain when the driver stops for delivery or a break, a critical element to ensure the efficacy of transported medicines, particularly vaccines.
