Carrier Transicold launched the Reefer Enhancement and Next-life (REN) Program, a solution aimed at extending the service life, improving energy efficiency and reducing total operating costs of mid-life PrimeLINE refrigerated units.
“As the shipping and maritime industry accelerates its transition to lower carbon operations, companies are seeking solutions that maximize the value of existing assets while minimizing environmental impact,” says Pablo Martinez, senior director, aftermarket and services, Carrier Climate Solutions Transportation. “Our Reefer Enhancement and Next-life Program enables shipping lines and leasing companies to easily enhance the efficiency, reliability and sustainability of their current fleets. With Carrier Transicold’s extensive installed base of approximately 1 million reefers, we anticipate the REN Program will deliver substantial operational and environmental benefits across the industry.”
Key takeaways:
· The REN program focuses on PrimeLINE units aged 6-10 years and can extend service life by up to three years.
· Upgrades include high-efficiency EDGE compressors, optimized coils and refrigerant retrofit kits. Customers can add a subscription to Lynx Fleet, Carrier’s advanced telematics solution, which provides further operational benefits and greater visibility into asset health, supports predictive maintenance and enables more efficient fleet management.
· Together, these enhancements deliver significant fuel and maintenance savings, improve energy efficiency and support compliance with evolving environmental regulations such as the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). Customers also gain improved reliability and higher resale value of renewed units.
