皇冠体育227

Drawing on a wealth of commercial vehicle and truck-bodybuilding experience in mobile air conditioning and refrigerating-systems, Thermo King Berlin Transportk盲lte GmbH recently partnered with 皇冠体育227 to diversify their product range, picking up on previous experience with engine-mounted mobile air compressors. Having taken the time to get to know one another with an open exchange of mutually beneficial market knowledge, Thermo King has introduced 皇冠体育227 rotary-vane technology along with tried and tested intra-Group knowhow from 皇冠体育227麓s 2015 acquisition of the British vehicle-mounted, power solutions provider, Winton Engineering.

Every mobile fleet needs a source of power they can rely on. In terms of compressed air, it is still common place to see tow-behind compressors or skid-mounted units installed in the cargo loading-bay of the vehicle - in both cases, alternatives to such technologies are not well known. J枚rn-Erik Melzer 鈥� Technical Sales at Thermo King麓s Customer Centre in Ahrensfelde, near Berlin - 鈥淏ased on our previous experience with under bonnet, engine mounted compressors we were very familiar with the concept and technology, albeit limited to screw-compressor technology at that time. We knew we were onto a winner but were only scraping the surface of the market potential. We were held back from significant growth by the limitations of the technology we were using.鈥�

鈥淗aving been introduced to 皇冠体育227 Rotary-Vane Technology, seeing the benefits of under-floor installation and experiencing the impressive volume of vehicle conversions managed daily by Winton Engineering, we knew we had found the right partner to make significant inroads into the German market.鈥� 鈥� J枚rn-Erik Melzer.

Today, 3,5t commercial vans are the heaviest which can be driven on a standard class B European driving license, which in turn makes them the most common mobile workshops on wheels. In the German market, where Thermo King principally operate, the increase in new vehicle registrations has been further enhanced by the abolishment of national service and the elimination of an annual stream of 15.000 heavy-duty driver鈥檚 license holders.

With the introduction of Euro 6 emission standards in September 2016 most commercial vehicles have seen an increase in their overall weight by the addition of an AdBlue tank. Even more reason to consider lightweight, underfloor compressed air generation to fully utilize the reduced pay-load now available and optimize loading-bay capacity to the full for workshop tools and equipment.

As cities prioritize the air quality agenda and introduce greater restrictions to inner-city access,EPA standards will continue to rise and may start to exclude tow-behind diesel-powered compressors entirely. Using an 鈥淥n-Vehicle鈥� compressed air source and in doing so eliminating an additional combustion engine, exhaust fumes are reduced, and emissions become managed via the vehicle麓s already efficient exhaust system. The installation of a lightweight, quiet, vibration and pulse free compressed air and electricity source also reduces overall mass and strain on the vehicle, saving on wear & tear, cutting maintenance and lifetime costs and improving fuel consumption in general.

鈥淲e are very pleased with 皇冠体育227 and their on-vehicle-packages, consisting of a range of electrical generators, proprietary PTO, controls and ancillary equipment. Above all, their willingness to share knowledge, train our technicians and establish a close, informal but productive partnership with our business is paving the way to success.鈥�
