Windsor, UK: A Peugeot Boxer is the first temperature-controlled van to be supplied under a new partnership between Vanaways and CoolKit. The van went to En Route International, an airline catering supplier.
Myles Brown, head of contracts management, En Route, said he was “impressed with the impartial advice and input” he received from the companies.
The Boxer, with the longest-available body and highest roof, was sourced by Vanaways and converted by CoolKit with a ‘slab’ side door, GAH Super Rapier fridge capable of maintaining temperatures to -20 degrees C, and a sliding bulkhead to provide two compartments for frozen and chilled goods.
“The partnership between Vanaways and Coolkit meant we didn’t have to deal with two separate suppliers, we were kept fully informed throughout and the van arrived in perfect condition well inside the agreed timescale,” Brown said.
“The conversion work is top-quality too. The adjustable bulkhead makes the van extremely adaptable to a range of uses, and the in-built temperature monitoring system allows us to offer customers a printed guarantee that cold chain integrity has been maintained throughout any journey.”
Launched earlier this year, the agreement between Vanaways and CoolKit means customers can now take advantage of the former’s speedy, simple ordering system – in conjunction, if required, with the bodybuilder’s online configurator – to create their perfect refrigerated van.
