Thermo King launches refrigeration unit for electric light commercial vehicles

Thermo King has announced production of its flagship electrical refrigeration unit, the E-500e, designed specifically to appeal to cold chain logistics operators of electric light commercial vehicles (eLCVs), particularly those operating in urban areas. 

A standout feature of the E-500e is its direct power supply from the vehicle’s battery, eliminating the need for additional batteries or charging cables. This design both streamlines operations and enables drivers to maintain refrigeration functionality while the eLCV is charging.
