Best Food Logistics has placed an order for 286 Carrier Transicold systems to transform the sustainability performance of its temperature-controlled fleet.
It includes investing in the manufacturer’s engineless technology, including Eco-Drive-mounted tractors and rigids featuring Syberia and Iceland units.
Supplied in partnership with Zenith and replacing older assets, the full order includes 53 Eco-Drive-equipped Renault T tractors, paired with 63 Gray & Adams trailers mounted with Carrier Transicold Vector HE 19 multi-temperature (MT) units, featuring a bespoke full-length split lane design separating frozen and chilled products.
These will be joined by 108 Syberia 18i Twincool and five Iceland 18 Twincool-equipped DAF XD 26-tonners, plus 57 18-tonne DAF XBs mounted with Syberia 11i MT systems. Also featuring split-lane Gray & Adams insulated bodies, these trucks are set to enter service in 2025.
Steve Pitts, head of operations at Best Food Logistics said: “Carrier’s expertise in electric and engineless products – for both trailers and rigid trucks – is second to none.
“When you factor in the competitive pricing, reliability and superb aftersales support, they deliver the complete package.
“These new assets will be critical in our transition from refrigerated transport systems that rely solely on their own standalone diesel engines.”
Best Food Logistics operates a 480-strong mixed commercial vehicle fleet from five UK depots, delivering to the hospitality and restaurant sector nationwide.
