Brussels, Belgium: Thermo King has introduced Trailer Assist Premium – data monitoring for refrigerated trailers, which combines data from the cooling unit and trailer within one telematics platform.
Thermo King says that customers will now benefit from complete insights into the refrigerated trailer’s data, including vehicle-related information like EBS, odometer, axle-load and TPMS, all accessible via the TracKing platform.
Trailer Assist Premium will enable fleet managers to have a comprehensive view of their fleet’s performance and further optimise their trailers’ uptime, maintenance and fuel efficiency for a more sustainable transport.
Raluca Radu, Connected Solutions portfolio leader at Thermo King, said: “With Trailer Assist Premium, Thermo King bridges the connectivity gap between refrigeration equipment and trailers, allowing for smarter and more responsive fleet performance. The launch of Trailer Assist Premium is a clear indication of our commitment to meeting the holistic needs of our customers and becoming a one-stop solution provider for those looking to maximise their operational efficiency by digitising their trailer fleet.”
The new Thermo King Trailer Assist Premium service captures a multitude of operational and maintenance data, extending the value provided by the TracKing application. From a single system, personal computer or mobile app, customers will now be able to access trailer and reefer data including:
• Operational data like tyre pressure and temperature (TPMS data), electronic braking system (EBS), trailer load, odometer, coupled/non-coupled ratios, trailer VIN, insufficient voltage supply alarms, brake lining and tyre pressure alerts and more.
• Maintenance data like status of brake lining and tyre performance per wheel, depending on sensor availability.
