Fleet electrification is changing refrigerated transportation. Selecting the right transport refrigeration unit now requires considering not only cooling capacity, but also vehicle integration, charging strategy, operating routes, and long-term maintenance planning.
The Thermo King e1000 is designed specifically for battery-electric Class 5–7 straight trucks. Rather than adapting a diesel-powered platform, it uses an all-electric architecture that integrates with compatible electric chassis while providing dependable temperature control for fresh and frozen products.
Thermo King Eastern Canada helps fleets determine whether the e1000 is the right solution by assisting with specification, installation planning, commissioning, preventive maintenance, and ongoing service support throughout the equipment lifecycle.
Key Benefits
- Rooftop packaging: Designed for suitable medium to large insulated vans and body-on-chassis applications, including vehicles with reach-in side compartments.
- Fresh and frozen configuration paths: Current OEM information identifies R134A for fresh applications and R452A availability on MAX and SPECTRUM configurations for frozen and multi-temperature applications.
- Optional electric standby: SmartPower 230 VAC electric standby is available, allowing applicable configurations to operate from electrical power when the vehicle is stationary.
- Automatic hot-gas defrost: A standard listed feature that supports evaporator defrost management.
- Heating availability: Hot-gas heat is available on V-520 RT MAX and SPECTRUM configurations.
- Door-switch option: Thermo King offers a door-switch kit that stops refrigeration when vehicle doors open and automatically restarts the system after they close.
- Cold-weather accessory: An available snow cover is designed to protect the condenser against snow and ice accumulation in extreme conditions.
Cold chain dependability
Increase focus on sustainability by reducing food waste in the cold chain and eliminate TRU carbon emissions. E1000 reefers perform on par with similar capacity diesel reefers. Like Thermo King’s T-1090 units, it supports truck box sizes ranging from 16 to 28 feet and has fresh and frozen setpoints. Strict standards for quality control are achieved by remotely monitoring TRU temperature with TracKing® telematics.
The all-in-one affordable, sustainable, all-electric transport refrigeration unit
Putting sustainability first
- Meet zero emissions requirements set out by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
- Use R-452A refrigerant with it’s lower global warming potential.
- Reduce noise and vibration than diesel engines of similar capacity.
Compelling Total Cost of Ownership
- Clean Off-Road Equipment (CORE) funding potential. (Up to 40% of unit purchase price.)
- National and state funding potential for decarbonization and electrification.
- Zero diesel fuel costs.
- Reduced maintenance compared to diesel equivalents.
Efficiency with options
- The single-temperature unit architecture allows electric power takeoff (ePTO) integration to electric chassis systems.
- Lighter than comparable diesel units.
- Comprehensive vehicle and charging network compatibility.
- Consistent cooling from charge to charge without compromising vehicle range.
- Continuous cooling while vehicle battery charges.
- Delivered with TracKing® telematics.
Real-World Applications
The e1000 is designed to work with Class 5-7 trucks with a range of cargo box sizes to provide the capacity and performance you require without sacrificing electricity efficiency.
Assuming 3″ of insulation for 35F, and 4″ for -5F at an 80F ambient; ten door openings for ten minutes each day on a ten hour route with box pre-cooled to setpoint; box dimensions of 96″W and 96″H on trucks 10′ and over in length.
Unit selection may vary. Consult a Thermo King Eastern Canada customer service representative for a detailed analysis of your requirements.
Example based on industry data of 1.8kWh/mile: For a 35 set point on a 22′ box, your milage reduction would be 8 miles.
