Thermo King and BPW announced today the collaboration of both companies to develop a new economical and ecological refrigerated trailer solution.
Since last autumn, Thermo King and BPW have been working together to combine their solutions for pro-environmental proposals. The aim is to create a sustainable power solution for refrigerated trailers that will not only be environmentally friendly but also bring transport companies substantial cost savings.
Some interesting progress is already on the table but companies are betting on their skills to improve further and will soon deliver to market a reliable and efficient solution making zero-emission trailer transport refrigeration a reality.
The strategy is to combine Thermo King and BPW technologies for freight transport solutions to make temperature control systems more environmentally friendly through new energy concepts in the trailer. Thanks to these solutions, the Total Cost of Ownership of the freight forwarder along the transport supply chain would also benefit in terms of savings.
Over the next few months, they promise, they’ll give some previews.
“Our customers value us for our commitment to the continuous advancement of the industry. The partnership with BPW perfectly reflects this approach and brings us closer to meeting our 2030 sustainability goals and combatting exhaust, CO2 and noise pollutions in our industry.”
said Francesco Incalza, president of Thermo King Europe, Middle East and Africa, leading electrification company, which today has the widest range of zero and low emission solutions in all market segments.
Thore Bakker, General Manager Trailer Solutions & Mobility Services at BPW, adds:
“In times of climate change with new traffic regulations in urban areas, the transport industry is more than ever challenged to find new ways of doing business economically and ecologically. Together with Thermo King, BPW is addressing the urgent problems of refrigerated transport, whose refrigeration units are still powered by a separate diesel engine today.”
Thermo King and BPW consistently invest in developing and evolving technology for sustainable transport efficiency that demonstrate how climate and customer cost benefits are inextricably linked with modern transport technologies.
