Many operators are reaping the rewards of the SLX-400 unit from Thermo King, with some reporting saving as much as 30 percent on fuel costs.
The new unit not only offers massive fuel saving for operators, but also delivers whisper quiet operation, efficient load protection and unmatched ease of use. By minimising fuel consumption, engine emissions and operating noise, the SLX-400 provides the ideal temperature control solution for an environmentally responsible operation.
Feedback from customers using the SLX-400 has been exceptional, with all users reporting significant savings on fuel consumption, high performance and low operating noise.
Comments directly from the companies that have taken part in these trials include:
Mikey Kerr, Managing Director, A Kerr and Co Haulage said: “The new SLX-400 range has been directly responsible for reducing fuel costs by 30 percent, which is hugely significant for us as the cost of fuel continues to rise. It is also extremely quiet, so much so that my drivers say they have to open the window to make sure it is still running! We are now looking to replace other units in the fleet with the SLX-400.
Tony Brebner, Transport Director of Well Pict Fresh Logistics said: “We have recently introduced the SLX 400 into our fleet and already we are seeing the results. The performance of the new units is hugely impressive. They are by far the quietest, easiest to use and most reliable unit we have ever come across. We have also already noticed a huge reduction in the fuel consumption of the vehicles using the units. I would recommend the SLX-400 to anyone looking for a cost effective, high performance refrigeration unit.”
Oliver Whitton, Fresh Direct said: “As our name suggests, our business is dependant on our ability to deliver fresh fruit and vegetables directly to our customers. The Thermo King SLX-400 refrigeration unit allows us to do this in a very efficient and cost effective manner.”
Launched to build on the market-leading SL range, the SLX directly responds to customer needs for maximum performance, minimal environmental impact and low cost of ownership.
The SLX design team optimised the refrigeration system for significant performance gains. This means that engine operating speeds have been reduced, but with no loss in cooling capacity or airflow. Slower engine speeds give a quieter engine which uses less fuel, and prolongs the life of moving parts.
Laurent Debias, Marketing Director Truck and Trailer, said: “All our product innovation is driven by the voice of the customer. We are confident that no other diesel-driven system matches the efficiency, the reliability and the fuel economy of the new range. It is simply the most advanced product of its kind in the market today. We are delighted with the feedback and responses received from our customers”.
