This year, it won in the ‘Cooling and Heating’ category for its S.CU d80 ePTO ready hybrid transport refrigeration unit. The transport refrigeration unit supports transport companies in their transition to alternative drive systems. The transport refrigeration unit can be operated completely emission-free via the electric power take-off of an electric semi-trailer tractor, while offering maximum operational reliability thanks to the integrated diesel generator.
This enables an economical and flexible entry into the decarbonisation of temperature-controlled transport. Ralph Kleideiter, chief sales officer at Schmitz Cargobull (pictured), said: "Our customers are faced with the task of making their transport operations more sustainable and at the same time economically viable. This requires solutions such as the S.CU d80 ePTO ready. With this refrigeration unit, we are helping our customers to meet sustainability requirements and keep an eye on their operating costs. We are delighted that our commitment to practical and economical innovations has been recognised with the European Transport Award for Sustainability.”
