Carrier Transicold will debut its new temperature-controlled trailer refrigeration unit, the Vector® HE 17, at Road Transport Expo 2024, marking the first time the product will be showcased in the UK. Carrier Transicold is part of Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions.

Utilising cutting-edge inverter technology with Carrier Transicold’s proven all-electric E-Drive architecture, the Vector HE 17 delivers outstanding performance in its class. It offers refrigeration capacity output above 16 kW, up to 30% reduced fuel consumption, 16% increased performance in electric mode, plus a 6 dB(A) noise reduction when compared to the legacy Vector 1550, all with exceptional total cost of ownership.

The Road Transport Expo 2024 runs June 4-6 at NAEC, Stoneleigh in Warwickshire. At stand Y15a, Carrier Transicold will feature the company’s innovative Eco-Drive power module, power box and the latest additions to its Lynx Fleet digital platform. Visitors can also learn more about Carrier’s updated version of the flagship Vector® HE 19 trailer system using new low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant, designed to significantly reduce the unit’s greenhouse gas footprint. The new refrigerant can deliver an 88% CO2 savings over the standard R452A refrigerant and a 94% reduction compared to the R404A refrigerant still used in many legacy systems.
