Thermo King Introduces Trailer Assist Premium, Vehicle Data Monitoring Solution for Trailers
Thermo King Trailer Assist Premium is a next step in data monitoring solutions for refrigerated trailers combining cooling unit’s and trailer data within one telematics platform.
Brussels, Jul. 10, 2024 – Thermo King®, a leader in transport temperature control solutions and a brand of Trane Technologies (NYSE: TT), introduces Trailer Assist Premium, the latest feature within the Thermo King Connected Solutions TracKing™ offering. Customers will now benefit from complete insights into the refrigerated trailer’s data including vehicle-related information like EBS[1], odometer, axle-load and TPMS[2], all easily accessible via the TracKing™ platform.
Thanks to the integration of trailer and cooling units’ data, Trailer Assist Premium will allow fleet managers to have a comprehensive view of their fleet’s performance and further optimise their trailers’ uptime, maintenance and fuel efficiency for a more sustainable transport.
“With Trailer Assist Premium, Thermo King bridges the connectivity gap between refrigeration equipment and trailers allowing for smarter and more responsive fleet performance,” said Raluca Radu, Connected Solutions portfolio leader at Thermo King. “The launch of Trailer Assist Premium is a clear indication of our commitment to meeting the holistic needs of our customers and becoming a one-stop solution provider for those looking to maximise their operational efficiency by digitizing their trailer fleet.”
The new Thermo King Trailer Assist Premium service captures a myriad of operational and maintenance data extending the value provided by the TracKing application. From a single system, personal computer or mobile app, customers will now be able to access trailer and reefer data including:
- Operational data like tyre pressure and temperature (TPMS data), electronic braking system (EBS), trailer load, odometer, coupled/non-coupled ratios, trailer VIN, insufficient voltage supply alarms, brake lining and tyre pressure alerts and more.
- Maintenance data like status of brake lining and tyre performance per wheel, depending on sensor availability.
