Truck Unit

V-1000

A revolution in large truck refrigeration technology

Direct drive

Direct-drive technology — matches diesel unit performance
Up to 54 % lower fuel consumption than an equivalent diesel unit
Up to 33 % lower maintenance costs — no on-board diesel engine
Weight savings of 250 kg (without stand-by) or 150 kg (with stand-by)
Compatible with CNG, LNG and biodiesel vehicles
Available in 12 V or 24 V — fits trucks from 3.5 t to 25 t
Available in 1- and 2-temperature (Spectrum) configurations

The class-leading V-1000 delivers the capacity of a diesel unit without its own diesel engine. The V-1000 is a direct-drive unit powered by the vehicle's own engine, with a dedicated Thermo King QP25 refrigeration compressor belt-mounted to the engine. Lifecycle costs are at least 54 % lower than comparable diesel units. Available in base or front-wall mounting and in 1- and 2-temperature configurations.

Pulldown speed (Zone Priority)

Direct-drive technology — powered by the vehicle

The V-Series delivers flexible, reliable temperature control for vans and trucks. On the road the compressor is powered by the vehicle's engine, and when stationary the electric stand-by takes over — one unit, two power sources, no on-board diesel engine. The result is low weight, a compact profile and best-in-class operating costs.

Swash plate compressor

A new swash plate compressor is engineered for ease of installation and combined with the DSR III controller it delivers best-in-class performance in both cooling and heating modes. A wide range of drive kits adapts the unit smoothly to different vehicle sizes.

Zone Priority — intelligent zone control

Zone Priority prioritises cooling or heating in the chosen compartment, accelerating pulldown by up to 40 %. The driver can select automatic, manual or disabled — the same unit serves multi-temperature distribution without compromise.

A sustainable alternative to diesel

Powered by the vehicle's engine, the V-Series emits no CO₂, NOx or particulates from the unit itself. Fuel consumption is up to 54 % lower and maintenance costs up to 33 % lower than an equivalent diesel unit. V-Series is compatible with CNG, LNG and biodiesel vehicles and is available in 12 V or 24 V configurations for trucks from 3.5 t to 25 t.
