Carrier Transicold has unveiled its new Vector 8811MT multi-temperature refrigeration unit for center-divide trailers.

The company says the new all-electric trailer refrigeration unit (TRU) offers improved fuel efficiency and lifetime CARB compliance. Dual evaporators and fans eliminate the need for a remote evaporator, the company says, simplifying installation for two-zone setups.

Carrier says the Vector 8811MT’s all-electric architecture enables it to independently manage both climate zones more efficiently than competitive dual-discharge systems that are mechanically interconnected. It also leaves a 15-inch-wide area between evaporators to place the trailer’s center wall, allowing pallet arrangements that can increase cargo capacity by up to 17% compared to systems that require trailers to be divided precisely down the middle.

“The Vector 8811MT brings the industry-leading efficiency and sustainability of our Vector trailer refrigeration platform to grocers, food distributors and other fleets that use center-wall divided trailers,” said Bill Maddox, senior manager of product management, truck trailer Americas, Carrier Transicold.

“The engine delivers a 96% reduction of particulate emissions compared to its predecessor and is lifetime CARB-compliant without exhaust gas recirculation. Whether you need compliance with stricter regulations in California or simply want to take productivity to the next level, the Vector 8811MT is a great choice for fleets with center-divide trailers.”
