CARRIER Transicold hosted a special online event last month showcasing the company’s forward thinking electrification and sustainability strategy, including the launch of its new connected cold chain solution, Lynx Fleet, which will be available by the end of June.
Central to the Carrier Transicold’s strategy is its newly launched fully autonomous trailer system, the Vector eCool. An industry first, the eCool utilises a new energy recovery and storage system that converts kinetic energy generated by the trailer axle and brakes into electricity, which is then stored in a battery pack powering the refrigeration unit.
Also highlighted at the event were Carrier Transicold’s engineless options for rigid trucks; a new electrical power inverter capable of harnessing any form of power used to drive a vehicle in order to operate the refrigeration unit – be that diesel, natural gas, electric or even hydrogen fuel cells
