Up to 30% better fuel efficiency of the Thermo King Advancer units can help transport companies mitigate the expected fuel price increase after the withdrawal of “red” diesel.

Thermo King®, a leader in transport temperature control solutions and a brand of Trane Technologies, announced today a new program that allows hauliers across the United Kingdom to trade-in their used single-temperature trailer refrigeration units and upgrade to the new Thermo King Advancer A-Series. Thermo King A-Series units are up to 30% more fuel-efficient than the market average offering the potential to completely mitigate the potential fuel cost increase expected after the withdrawal of rebated “red” diesel in April 2022.

“With this program, Thermo King wants to help transport companies’ address the impact, which the upcoming changes in fuel duty in the United Kingdom will have on their operations,” said David O’Gorman, regional sales director at Thermo King. “Hauliers willing to trade in and upgrade their used trailer refrigeration units – no matter the brand – can simply contact their local Thermo King dealer, replace it with a brand new Advancer unit and start benefiting from the market leading performance, temperature control, and fleet connectivity.”
