Cooling Without the Engine: Kardan Frigo's New Isuzu Refrigerated Truck Operates with 380V Grid and Industrial Electricity
In cold chain transportation, maintaining products within the correct temperature range is crucial not only during transit but also during vehicle standby, loading, unloading, and field operations. Especially in supermarket, warehouse, production facility, hotel, restaurant, and food and medical product operations, refrigeration must continue uninterrupted while the refrigerated vehicle is parked.
Our new Isuzu NPR 10 Long refrigerated truck, which we have added to our fleet as Kardan Frigo, has been specially prepared to meet this need. The cooling system in the vehicle can operate both powered by the vehicle's engine and can provide cooling without the engine running by connecting to 380V city and industrial electricity. Thanks to this feature, the vehicle continues to cool with electric support without the engine running while it is stationary.
What is a 380V Electric Stand-By System?
In refrigerated vehicles, the electric stand-by system is an important feature that allows the refrigeration unit to operate by connecting to an external power line, without needing the vehicle's engine to be running. This system ensures that the temperature inside the cargo area can be maintained even when the vehicle engine is off.
Kardan Frigo's new Isuzu refrigerated truck is configured to operate on 380V city and industrial electricity. Vehicles in markets, warehouses, factories, production facilities, or logistics sites with adequate electrical infrastructure can refrigerate directly via an electrical connection.
This way, the vehicle can be actively used not only during transportation but also during waiting and temporary storage periods.
Advantages of Cooling Without the Engine Running
Cooling without the engine running provides significant economic and operational advantages in cold chain operations. Since there is no need to run the engine while the vehicle is parked, fuel consumption is reduced. At the same time, because no engine noise is generated, a quieter and more environmentally friendly working environment is achieved.
This feature provides great convenience, especially for city deliveries, in front of supermarkets, in warehouse areas, and for hotel and restaurant deliveries. The cooling continuing while the vehicle's engine is off makes a significant difference in terms of both product safety and operational efficiency.
Powerful Solution for Market and Warehouse Operations
Deliveries to supermarkets, food warehouses, and production facilities may sometimes require vehicles to wait on-site. In classic usage, the engine needs to run during this waiting period to maintain refrigeration. However, with a 380V electric stand-by system, the vehicle can operate directly on city or industrial electricity at locations with appropriate electrical connections.
This setup provides significant advantages, especially in market rental operations. The vehicle can be positioned permanently at the market or warehouse site. The interior temperature is maintained without the engine running, and products are kept within a safe temperature range. Thus, the vehicle can be utilized as a temporary cold storage area in addition to its transport function.
Flexible Use with Urban and Industrial Electricity
One of the most important features of our new Isuzu refrigerated truck is its ability to operate with a 380V electrical connection. This system allows the vehicle to refrigerate using city electricity or industrial electricity in businesses with the appropriate infrastructure.
This feature provides significant advantages, especially for operations requiring long waiting times. It ensures that the cold chain is not interrupted during processes where products are awaiting loading, during delivery, or while on the depot site. The electric-assisted system, which operates independently of the vehicle engine, contributes to a more planned, quieter, and economical execution of operations.
Hygienic and Clean Interior
In cold chain transportation, not only temperature control but also cargo hygiene and product safety are of great importance. Our new Isuzu NPR 10 Long refrigerated vehicle offers a suitable solution for the transportation of food, medical products, frozen goods, deli products, dairy products, meat products, chocolate, cosmetics, and products requiring precise temperature control, with its clean and hygienic cargo structure.
The interior structure of the compartment allows for organized placement and secure transportation of products. The refrigeration system helps maintain products within their required temperature range, while the clean compartment structure creates a reliable transportation environment.
Less Fuel, Less Noise, More Efficient Operation
Cooling without the engine running helps keep operating costs under control. Not starting the engine while the vehicle is parked reduces fuel consumption. At the same time, not running the engine at idle offers advantages in terms of maintenance costs and mechanical wear.
The silent operation feature offers significant comfort in urban operations. Reducing noise in areas such as markets, residential complexes, hotels, restaurants, and warehouses ensures that operations are conducted in a more environmentally conscious manner.
Unbroken Security in the Cold Chain
Maintaining uninterrupted temperature control is vital in the transportation of food and medical products. Especially for sensitive items such as frozen goods, milk and dairy products, meat and meat products, pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, chocolate, and cosmetics, every stage of the transportation process must be under control.
Kardan Frigo's 380V electric-powered Isuzu refrigerated truck ensures the safe preservation of products both while driving and when parked. The vehicle operates with an engine-driven system while in motion. When stationary, it continues to cool by connecting to 380V city and industrial electricity. This dual operating principle provides robust flexibility in cold chain operations.
