Thermoking has introduced the Advancer S-DRC slimline rail unit. This unit showcases the most recent advances in temperature control technology for intermodal and freight rail applications. Replacing the SLXi-DRC, the new Advancer S-DRC will use the proven Precedent® S-Series engine and be the first slimline unit in North America to comply with all 50 states’ CARB Ultra-Low Emission Transport Refrigeration Unit (ULETRU) emissions criteria.
“Thermo King has designed custom rail solutions for our customers since 1948,” said Sam Doerr, Thermo King’s trailer portfolio leader. “The Advancer S-DRC is another example of Thermo King’s commitment to delivering smart, sustainable temperature-control solutions that help customers transition fleets to reduce their environmental impact and be compliant with the changing regulations in California.”
