Thermo King announced this week it is now offering a new, fully electric refrigeration unit for small to medium-sized vans and trucks. With a unique mix of control, convenience, utilization, and reliability, Thermo-King says this new unit, the E-200, is the ideal all-electric solution for electric and engine-powered trucks.
The company says the E-200 provides a unique mix of control and convenience, paired with low noise and reduced weight, and offers an attractive solution across urban settings and final mile deliveries.
