Sustainability And Safety Drive Multi-Temp Trailer Trends

An increase in electric standby, CO2 refrigerant and temperature tracking telematics are among the trends to watch in 2011.


“Soon the government is going to get more involved in food safety, so more and more of our customers are taking steps to increase the tractability of product temperature by the use of telematics,” Kampf says. “They want to be able to monitor and change the temperature of the refrigeration unit whether it’s across town or across the country. Thermo King offers the Track King service, which uses satellite or cellular technology to track and change reefer temperatures remotely.”
