Copenhagen, Denmark: Seven new side-door refrigerated trailers in Vendelbo Spedition’s fleet are the first in Denmark to use Advancer Spectrum’s multi-temperature fridges.
The Advancer Spectrum A-500 fridges are the latest from Thermo King. The units are up to 30% more fuel efficient compared to the previous generation, offering also lower service interval rate of up to 30% and reduced unscheduled maintenance by up to 60%, Thermo King says.
Jesper Bundgaard, managing director, Vendelbo Spedition, said: “We were convinced by the positive economic and environmental impact of the new Thermo King Advancers.”
“Our new dual-temperature trailers with side-opening doors are already operating across Denmark and Scandinavia and the fuel savings offered by the Advancer Spectrum units are substantial. The combination of low noise and high-performance operations enables us to flexibly answer our customers’ demand for multi-temperature transport of food, pharmaceuticals, and other temperature-sensitive products,” Bundgaard said.
“With Advancer Spectrum, our customers can experience new level of performance in multi-zone temperature configurations with precise temperature management and reduced fuel and operational costs,” said Jozsef Torok, area sales manager Denmark, Finland and Norway at Thermo King.
“The A-500 Spectrum units ensure that the trailer box is used to its fullest capabilities. Whatever the mix of cargo, Spectrum allows it to be shipped in a single trailer, so customers can respond to peak-demands easily and quickly. With the A-500 Spectrum, Vendelbo Spedition can be sure they have the greenest and most fuel-efficient cooling unit on the market, fully compliant with today’s regulations and prepared for the future.”
Advancer Spectrum is the first multi-temperature trailer unit on the market offering transparency of fuel levels and consumption. Customers can access the fuel consumption and other data both on the unit and remotely via telematics. Fleet intelligence is standard, as Advancer Spectrum comes included with 2 years of full, two-way telematics connectivity service.
The new Advancer Spectrum has 48V DC mild-hybrid technology to provide temperature configurations of two distinct zones during the same journey, with temperature management and set point control.
The new remote evaporators bring additional capacity to the remote zone, maximising the flexibility and efficiency of customers’ operations. Combined with the Advancer multi-temp controller, customers can precisely manage the temperature while gaining real-time insight into how the unit is running, how the temperature zones are performing and how much fuel the unit is using, Thermo King says.
