Mitsubishi Trane units now available in US

USA: City Multi and Nv series air conditioners are to be introduced into the US market under the joint venture agreement announced last year by Mitsubishi Electric and Ingersoll Rand.

The joint venture established Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC as a leading provider of ductless and VRF systems in the United States and select countries in Latin America.

The new Trane/Mitsubishi Electric N-Generation City Multi VRF and Nv series ductless products are now available to order, and will ship from July.

“We are excited about the expanded capabilities of our next generation VRF and ductless offerings,” said Steve Obstein, portfolio leader, ductless and sourced products. “Trane is committed to reducing the energy intensity of the world and the evolution of our product line has the ability to impact this vision in a significant way.”
