FRIGOBLOCK, a brand of Thermo King, has collaborated with NRG Riverside to create the first battery-electric (BEV) temperature-controlled trucks to operate on UK’s roads.
Following the launch of BEV refuge collection vehicles in London, NRG Riverside was determined to provide the same environmental benefits to the frozen and chilled goods distribution sector.
Together with its strategic partner and manufacturer of electric HGVs, Electra Commercial Vehicles, they asked Frigoblock to provide a high capacity refrigeration unit capable of being fully powered by their vehicle’s batteries. A Frigoblock EK25R refrigeration unit fitted with RE22-2 evaporators ticked all the boxes.
