Morgantown, Pennsylvania, USA: Morgan Truck Body has unveiled an electrified refrigerated concept truck body during Work Truck Week in Indianapolis.
The body is on a Lion Electric Lion6 chassis and uses a Thermo King all-electric fridge.
The 24-foot truck body is constructed with weight-saving materials that also improve its thermal efficiency. The fridge is integrated with Lion Electric’s vehicle systems and powered by the vehicle’s onboard batteries, which use Lion’s proprietary battery thermal management systems.
Morgan’s refrigerated truck body uses an aluminium-extruded subframe that provides weight reduction and composite panels that reduce weight without compromising structural integrity. The truck body is shaped to improve aerodynamics, using cab fairing, side skirting and wheel covers to reduce drag.
Other energy-saving features include a high-speed side curtain door improving thermal that maintains a constant temperature and humidity barrier for the truck interiors. Interior walls are insulated with three inches of polyurethane foam.
