  • Ultra-high efficiency. Provides 10% greater fuel efficiency than its standard counterpart, thanks to its three-speed engine with common-rail fuel injection.
  • Reduced maintenance and exceptional reliability. Fewer moving parts, which reduces maintenance requirements, optimizing reliability and uptime.
  • Nationwide support network. More than 180 Carrier Transicold authorized dealers available throughout North America with experience and expertise to provide safe, reliable service wherever needed.
