Nottingham, UK: Truck finance provider Alltruck has taken a Hultsteins Slimline multi-temperature fridge on an 18 tonne Daf LF for London deliveries. The acquisition follows customer trials in the temperature-controlled sector where Alltruck reports “impressive performance results and high customer satisfaction” with the Hultstein system.
“We are inspired by the results so far. Carbon, NOx and all other harmful emissions are virtually eliminated while at the same time, fuel, noise and general running costs are significantly reduced,” Leon Mair, head of account management and technical sales support, Alltruck, said. The Slimline multi-temperature unit has a water heating kit and aero-dynamic collars fitted to the fridge.
Graham Usher, managing director UK, Hultsteins, said: “Hultsteins is a pioneer in the development of refrigeration units that rely solely on the clean power of the transport vehicle. This partnership marks a significant step forward in the journey to reduce emissions within the transport refrigeration industry. By eliminating the need for diesel-powered refrigeration units, Alltruck and Hultsteins are championing a greener and more efficient future for the logistics sector.”
“The partnership between Alltruck and Hultsteins holds great promise for the environment. By eliminating the need for diesel-powered refrigeration units, significant reductions in carbon emissions can be achieved,” Mair said.
“Traditional diesel-powered systems not only contribute to air pollution but also consume valuable fossil fuels. However, Hultsteins’ technology not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also offers a tangible solution to the global challenge of reducing our carbon footprint.”
Beyond the environmental benefits, Alltruck sees significant benefits regarding improved efficiency and cost savings. “By utilising the existing power source of the truck, these units eliminate the need for separate diesel engines, resulting in reduced maintenance costs and increased reliability. This innovative approach also translates into lower fuel consumption, ultimately leading to substantial savings for businesses operating transport refrigeration fleets.”
