Manufacturers and options
Besides Mercedes, IVECO and Renault, also MAN, Ford, Peugeot, Citroën, Mitsubishi and Fiat build refrigerated vans. These vehicles can be equipped with various options making the vehicle easier and faster to operate. This is, for example, a rearview camera, tailgate, towbar or parking sensors. The cooling generator can also be from Carrier or Thermo-king. The cooling generator will receive power from the battery/motor during daytime, however, this is an insufficient solution during the nighttime. Therefore, refrigerated vans are equipped with an external power connection (220 or 380 volts) to prevent the motor from running.
What are cool/freeze vans suitable for?
Commercial vans with a refrigerated construction are exceptionally suitable for conditioned transport. Perishable goods need to be stored at a constant temperature to conserve the quality of the product. For example, frozen fish, (fresh) milk or flowers. For transport of provisions, an ATP/FRC certificate might be important. Cooling trailers have the same certificate.
Dimensions
Refrigerated vans are available in multiple shapes and sizes. The height and width of the loading space differs. Manufacturers use a combination of L(length) and H(height) for each vehicle. The following combinations are most common: L1H1, L2H1, L2H2, L3H1, L3H2, L4H2, L4H3 and L4H4. The exact dimensions are different per manufacturer.
