New operating mode helps fleet operators significantly improve fuel efficiency, without having to compromise on reliable temperature control of cargo.
Thermo King®, a leader in transport temperature control solutions and a brand of Trane Technologies, has introduced a new operating mode for its Advancer trailer refrigeration units. This latest feature, named ECOmode, offers customers a smart balance between tighter temperature control and reduced fuel consumption. By expanding the Advancer range’s operational flexibility, ECOmode enables transporters to optimise performance based on cargo sensitivity and delivery profile.
Adding to the existing Continuous and CycleSentry (start-stop) operating modes, ECOmode delivers fuel consumption reduced by up to 50% compared to continuous operation, while maintaining significantly tighter temperature control compared to CycleSentry mode. In ECOmode, the Advancer limits the temperature deviation from the set point and ensures sequential airflow to keep protecting the cargo. (....)
