Transport cooling measure launched

Transport refrigeration specialist Thermo King has launched a full multi-temperature range based on its SLX concept.

The SLX Spectrum has been designed to deliver the same benefits as the SLX platform, but with even greater results. These include improved fuel economy with up to 30 per cent less fuel used than the SL Spectrum and increased green credentials, with 30 per cent less carbon emitted.

With quiet operation the SLX Spectrum is up to 65 per cent quieter than its predecessor thanks to the integration of low noise components running at lower speeds. The unit has been designed to increase driver comfort and also to permit use in noise-sensitive environments.

Designed to meet a wide range of trailer configurations, the SLX Spectrum can now drive up to nine remote evaporator blowers, giving customers even more flexibility to meet ever more demanding applications.

The unit is also fitted with advanced control logic, which protects sensitive cargo by providing tighter temperature control and minimising dehydration. With the additional benefit of the CargoWatch data logger now standard, the SR-2 is the most compliant and convenient system in the industry.

Laurent Debias, marketing manager for the SLX range, said: “City distribution operations run under demanding conditions. With an ever-increasing focus on quiet operation and low emissions, the SLX Spectrum provides the solution our customers have been looking for. Its ease of use and flexibility will appeal to drivers and owners alike.”
