Hanover, Germany, UK: Thermo King’s new high-capacity T-1200R Whisper Pro truck fridge will launch at the Hanover IAA Transport show this month.
T-1200R Whisper Pro single and multi temperature fridge meets most stringent current and upcoming noise regulations to facilitate inner city distribution, Thermo King says.
Thermo King T-Series units are available as diesel-powered or hybrid models. In the hybrid option, the unit switches between diesel and electric mode to enter cities’ low emission zones. The new T-1200R Whisper Pro offers the same reliability and performance as the T-Series with sound levels below the latest Piek standard requirements, the company says.
“Improving inner-city living conditions and eliminating the levels of noise emissions are among European cities’ top priorities. Transporters operating in urban areas must ensure their refrigeration units meet the strictest noise regulations set by municipalities and regulators,” said Davide Previsdomini, product manager Truck, Thermo King.
“Noise attenuation across all our products to lower the impact on communities and drivers has always been a priority for Thermo King. By introducing the Whisper Pro model of our highest cooling capacity truck unit, we give our customers a solution to keep effectively operating in the cities.”
The T-1200R Whisper Pro has telematics as standard and uses geo-fencing to automatically switch to quiet mode when entering defined low noise-emission zones. This allows the operators unrestricted schedules and compliance with noise regulations in the given area. In case of the hybrid model, when the power from the truck is available, the unit switches to electric drive to further reduce emissions.
