Refrigeration specialist Thermo King has partnered with rental specialist Petit Forestier to showcase an all-electric, zero-emission and zero-noise refrigerated van at the IAA Commercial Vehicles Show on Sept. 20-27 in Hannover, Germany.

Petit Forestier’s Renault Master Z.E., a 3,1 ton electric van equipped with the market-first and IAA premiere Thermo King E-200 full-electric refrigeration unit will be available to visitors at the FG M43 stand in the outdoor area of the exhibition grounds. The breakthrough set-up of the E-200 unit on display provides constant cooling and heating capacities independently of the vehicle operation.

“At this year’s IAA, Thermo King enters a new era of transport refrigeration showing its vision of the future, where foods and goods can be transported safely with zero-emission, no noise and maximum convenience for urban populations,” said Pauli Johannesen, vice president and general manager for Truck, Trailer and Bus at Thermo King in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). “Together with Petit Forestier we prove that such a future is already here and thanks to the technologies leading with electricity, intelligence and sustainability we have pioneered, we can revolutionize the way the refrigerated transport operates.”
