Thermo King’s urban TRU

Oct 28, 2019

Updated Oct 29, 2019

Thermo King’s SLXi Local Transportation Refrigeration Unit is suited for urban applications and is engineered to be quieter to help meet noise regulation trends and to be lightweight and thinner to help increase payload capacity and meet physical space constraints that require tight turning capabilities. The unit’s slim profile reduces the tractor-trailer gap by seven inches, which also helps decrease air drag and enhance tractor fuel efficiency. The unit is seven-year California Air Resources Board-compliant and uses R452A low-emissions refrigerant and the company’s Whisper kit for quiet operation. Telematics hardware enables Thermo King’s ConnectedSuite real-time monitoring platform.
