Ocado impressed by Thermo King's Advancer performance: Online retailer orders 27 Advancer A400 units from Marshall Fleet Solutions for latest trailer fleet upgrade programme

摘要

Supplied by Thermo King dealer Marshall Fleet Solutions, the new TK Advancer A400 units are fitted on Paneltex single temperature, double deck trailers that are being used for trunking from Ocado's four main CFCs to their regional spoke sites."Since we took our first TK Advancer unit earlier this year, everything about them looks really good and ideally suited to our trunking operations. The improved unit functionality and airflow, as well as distinct advantages in fuel economy, means that the cost of ownership of the trailers with Advancers is a far better proposition for our business. As a result, we decided to increase the number of Advancers in our double deck fleet order this year, with a total of 27 new trailers being specified with Advancers and now going into service over the next few months," said Graham Thomas, fleet operations manager - truck at Ocado Group pic.The Thermo King Advancers form part of an overall trailer fleet upgrade at Ocado, with 46 new temperature-controlled trailers being added to their fleet during 2021, all of them featuring either Thermo King Advancer or TK SLXi refrigeration systems supplied, installed, and maintained by Marshall Fleet Solutions.
