Thermo King’s Electric Transport Refrigeration Unit for Trailers Completes Trial with Meijer
Thermo King, a strategic brand of global climate innovator Trane Technologies, recently completed the latest field testing of its innovative evolve electric trailer with Meijer, a privately-owned and family-operated retailer that operates one of the largest fleets in Michigan.
Meijer piloted Thermo King’s electric trailer during Michigan’s harsh winter weather, adding to Thermo King’s understanding of how climate impacts the system. During its time with Meijer, the technology was used for single-temperature grocery transport and data was tracked using Thermo King’s TracKin telematics. With this connected solution, operational and route analysis information was captured to assist with the development of future electric operations.
