Penske Truck Leasing, Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) and Carrier Transicold have collaborated on an all-electric refrigerated medium-duty truck to help leasing customers with temperature-controlled freight realize the financial and environmental benefits that zero-emissions equipment can provide. Carrier Transicold is a part of Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions.

The vehicle, displayed by Penske at the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo held May 20-23 in Las Vegas, combines a Class 7 Freightliner eM2 battery-electric box truck with Carrier Transicold’s Supra e11 eCool™ electric refrigeration unit on a 26-foot refrigerated body. It is an ideal specification for regional and local fleets seeking regulatory compliance or cleaner, more sustainable options for distributing food and other perishable goods.

“The Freightliner eM2 and Carrier Supra e11 are ideally matched to deliver the performance and efficiency our customers expect from a refrigerated vocational truck, with the advantages and peace of mind that come with full-service leasing,” said Paul Rosa, Senior Vice President, Procurement and Fleet Planning, Penske Truck Leasing.
