All-electric refrigeration for vans

E-200 and E-500 are all-electric direct-drive units suitable for fully electric, CNG, LNG or biodiesel vehicles. No diesel engine on the unit — power comes from the vehicle's own battery or a dedicated Thermo King Li-Ion battery pack. Zero-emission operation opens access to low-emission zones and city centres.

Variable-speed compressor — precise and efficient

A variable-speed compressor adjusts its rotation to actual cooling demand, delivering precise temperature control, lower energy consumption and improved reliability. A custom inverter provides stable capacity regardless of vehicle motion. The result: steady temperature even when stationary and in city driving.
