First 100% all-electric reefer from Schmitz Cargobull for Finland

"PNO is one of the main players in Finland when it comes to sustainable transport. The all-electric reefer is part of a long-term sustainability strategy and we are pleased that Kylmästi Paras is the first Finnish carrier to include this vehicle in its fleet," says Kai Mäkinen.

"Both PNO Rental and Kylmästi Paras are long-standing business partners and we are pleased to be able to provide them with an efficient and sustainable vehicle for temperature-controlled transport in the form of the S.KOe COOL all-electric reefer," says Felix Müller.

The vehicle will be used in the Helsinki metropolitan area for inner-city distribution transport to local grocery stores. It is equipped with an electric Volvo tractor unit, making it a 100% electric vehicle combination.

The emission free, all-electric S.KOe COOL semi-trailer is equipped with an all-electric refrigeration unit with integrated power electronics, a high-voltage battery and an axle generator. The electrified vehicle is also extremely quiet, enabling deliveries in urban areas in the early morning hours as well as in the late evening. The electrically powered S.CU ep85 refrigeration unit is designed for emission-free cooling and heating of the load. It offers a cooling capacity of up to 15,800 watts and a heating capacity of 10,500 watts. Batteries on the support winch replace the diesel tank, and also offer the option of installing an additional pallet box with space for 36 pallets. The electrified Schmitz Cargobull trailer axle recuperates energy during braking, among other things, and therefore extends the operating time of the refrigeration machine or reduces the recharging times of the battery via the power grid.
