Hanover, Germany: Thermo King’s new VX-Series’ uses a compact design for nose- and roof-mount applications, while improved performance and lower noise aid inner-city deliveries.
The VX-Series, for vehicles between 3.5 to 7.5 tonnes, is smaller and half the weight of the predecessor units boosting payload by 80kg.
The new units use hermetic compressor technology, which increases the overall efficiency, lowers noise and vibration levels, and reduces refrigerant charge for more environmentally friendly operations, Thermo King says.
“With the new VX-Series units we are expanding our vehicle-powered portfolio introducing completely new TRU architecture in this market segment,” said Graham Wells, vehicle-powered truck product manager,Thermo King, Europe, Middle East and Africa.
“New and durable design, reduced dimensions and weight, and increased cooling capacities of the VX-Series offer our customers new opportunities to successfully manage and operate their delivery fleet. The VX- Series will deliver exceptional performance even in extreme high and low ambient conditions, and will be easier to service, saving time thanks to improved accessibility.”
The V-400X provides 4kW of cooling capacity, while the V-500X and V-600X replace the incumbent V-500 and V-600 models increasing cooling capacity of the predecessor units to 5.5kW and 6.5kW respectively.
