Frigoblock, one of the leading manufacturers of transport refrigeration units in Europe and a brand of Thermo King®, today presented the FK2, its new all-electric refrigeration unit. The design of the Frigoblock FK2 unit combines sustainability, reliability and intelligent operation to power the next generation of urban cold chains.

Compared to diesel units, the FK2 produces less noise and guarantees up to 50% reduction in emissions depending on the customer's operation. When connected to a battery-powered electric vehicle, the FK2 creates a zero-emission transport refrigeration solution. These capabilities have become increasingly crucial for customers to demonstrate compliance with the growing range of sustainable legislation governing urban operations.

The FK2 is electrically powered with Frigoblock's proven alternator technology. The high-efficiency Frigoblock traction alternator is designed to maximize the energy generated by the truck engine, contributing to better fuel efficiency of diesel-powered trucks. For more sustainable transport operations, the FK2 units are compatible and can be installed on both hybrid and electric trucks.

For improved operation, temperature control monitoring and load safety, the new FK2 unit can be equipped with integrated telematics and connectivity thanks to Thermo King BlueBox. This provides the fleet operator with 24/7 visibility of unit operation, remote monitoring and proactive control through the TracKing web portal and TK Reefer application. Customers can monitor their unit's operation at any time and clearly see temperature benchmarks during each trip. The solution also connects the customer with a multilingual customer support team and an extensive emergency assistance network available 24/7.

The new FK2 leverages the thoroughly tested 100% electric Frigoblock architecture, which requires less maintenance than more complex diesel units and offers greater reliability and increased uptime.
