Frigoblock expands electric cooling options

GERMANY: Frigoblock has introduced the FK2, its new all-electric refrigeration unit.

The FK2 employs Frigoblock’s alternator technology, which is designed to maximise the energy generated from the truck’s engine, contributing to better fuel efficiency of diesel-powered trucks. For more sustainable transport operations, FK2 units are compatible and can be installed on both hybrid and electric-powered trucks.

Frigoblock also claims that, compared to diesel-powered units, the FK2 generates less noise and up to 50% emissions reduction depending on customer operation. 

The new FK2 unit can be supplied with integrated telematics and connectivity thanks to the Thermo King BlueBox. This provides the fleet operator with full visibility of the unit’s operation, remote monitoring, and proactive control through the TracKing web portal and the TK Reefer application. Customers can track their unit’s operation at any time, and clearly demonstrate the temperature set points across every journey. The solution also connects the customer with a multi-lingual customer support team and the extensive service network for 24/7 emergency assistance.
