Brussels, Belgium: Manufacturer of transport temperature control solutions for a variety of mobile applications and a brand of Ingersoll Rand, Thermo King has announced enhancing its B-Series of environmentally friendly units for small delivery trucks and vans, with the introduction of B-100 30.

The B-Series range of zero-emission electric units, the company revealed, are non-diesel, and powered directly from the vehicle battery. The company highlighted that the units are compatible with vehicles equipped with original air conditioning system, requiring no drive kit or vehicle modification, while the thin ceiling-mounted evaporator contributes to increased payload space. The new unit, the company further said, has added an electric heating option within the same compact dimensions that is typical for the entire range, to provide constant electrical cooling and heating capacities. Heating capacity, it added, is independent from vehicle engine and ambient temperature.

“The new B-100 30 and the entire all-electric B-Series units are a perfect fit for customers looking for high performance refrigeration units for their “last mile” applications such as home deliveries or the transport of pharmaceutical products,” said Eneko Fernandez, Product Management Leader at Thermo King. “Having no diesel engine, the units gives transporters the flexibility of inner-city, low-emission zones operations and contributes to the low total cost of ownership.”
