CLIVE COWERN TRANSPORT UNLOCKS IMPROVED SUSTAINABILITY WITH DIGITALLY CONNECTED CARRIER TRANSICOLD VECTOR TRAILER UNITS
The digitally enabled units connect to Carrier Transicold’s telematics platform and are backed by a BluEdge service contract, allowing for improved operational efficiency throughout the life of the products.
Shropshire-based Clive Cowern Transport has improved fleet sustainability with 10 new temperature-controlled trailers, featuring nine flagship Carrier Transicold Vector ® HE 19 multi-temperature (MT) units and a single mono-temperature Vector 1550. Carrier Transicold is a part of Carrier Global Corporation, the leading global provider of healthy, safe, sustainable and intelligent building and cold chain solutions.
Clive Cowern Transport’s new Vector HE 19 and Vector 1550 units are mounted to 13.6-metre temperature-controlled trailers from Chereau and Schmitz Cargobull, respectively. All 10 units are backed by Carrier’s powerful telematics package and replace older competitor-cooled assets, cementing Carrier’s position as the company’s main refrigerated equipment supplier across its 53-strong mixed commercial vehicle fleet.
Both the Vector HE 19 and Vector 1550 units feature Carrier Transicold’s E-Drive all-electric technology, which helps to reduce refrigerant leak rates by up to 55% while also cutting carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
The Vector HE 19 units combine the E-Drive with a new multi-speed engine design, delivering up to 30% fuel savings when compared to the previous generation Vector 1950. In addition, the system’s fully hermetic scroll compressor and economiser provides a 40% increase in refrigeration capacity during pull-down and is 19% more efficient when plugged into the electrical grid on standby – all while being 3 dB(A) quieter than the legacy unit, helping to significantly reduce sound pollution.
Clive Cowern Transport also benefits from Carrier Transicold’s powerful connected technology and telematics platform. This allows the business to remotely alter the set point or operation mode of its Carrier-cooled assets, clear any alarms, initiate defrosts and carry out pre-trip checks from any connected device around the world – all helping to improve operational efficiency and further reduce fuel consumption.
