MHI Thermal Systems Launches TEU Series of New Electric-Driven Transport Refrigeration Units in Europe
— Structure that Facilitates Installation Even in Electric Vehicles with Limited Space due to Large Batteries–
– Modular structure for density and weight decrease, boosting setup versatility in electrical lorries
– “Economizer Cycle” setup that allows higher cooling capability
– Compatible with numerous source of power, with several temperature level settings according to freight volume and contents
TOKYO, August 27, 2026-(JCN Newswire)- Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Systems, Ltd. (MHI Thermal Systems), a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries(MHI)Group, has actually begun sales in Europe of the TEU series, a brand-new lineup for the Preciso brand name of all-electric-driven transportation refrigeration systems. Sales will be managed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Transport Europe GmbH (MTTE), MHI’s European sales arm based in Osnabruck, Germany.
Europe is pursuing steps for decarbonization and air quality enhancement, specifically in city locations, speeding up the shift to intra-city logistics utilizing automobiles with lower ecological effect. The freight transport sector in specific is making full-fledged efforts to present electrical lorries in lots of nations and cities throughout the area, and even more adoption is anticipated moving forward. With such quickly advancing electrification, TRU for the European market, in addition to high ecological efficiency, require to be versatile to diverse installing restrictions to flexibly accommodate the different battery setups in electrical cars. Even more, accomplishing both transportation quality and functional effectiveness through high energy-saving efficiency that thinks about total automobile performance, and compatibility with numerous temperature level varieties, has actually ended up being a crucial requirement.
To fulfill these requirements, MHI Thermal Systems has actually embraced a modular structure for the TEU series, a very first for its line of product, attaining both density and weight decrease. By separating the primary parts of the refrigeration system– the condenser, evaporator and compressor– into the tiniest possible compact modules, the system can be quickly set up in lots of kinds of electrical cars with broad and differed fitting restrictions, without disrupting the setup.
In addition, compared to the TU series of standard sub-engine trailer systems, which utilize a devoted genset for the refrigeration system different from the lorry’s engine, the primary system size of the TEU series has actually been minimized by around 30% by volume, with a 40% smaller sized necessary opening width and location, and a 55% decrease in weight. The compact and light-weight modular structure of the TRU likewise adds to extending the variety of electrical lorries with light-weight, high-capacity batteries.
In spite of its compact size, the TEU series has high refrigeration capability ideal for big trucks, enabled by utilizing an “economizer cycle,” a setup in which a part of the refrigerant is branched, utilized to cool the primary refrigerant circulation, and after that injected into the intermediate phase of the compressor throughout the compression procedure, therefore improving refrigeration capability. The TEU series likewise supports a large range of power supply types, consisting of electrical automobile batteries, vehicle‑mounted generator, and devoted TRU batteries, making it ideal for a large range of automobiles.
The TEU1400MA is a multi-evaporator system that allows synchronised transportation of freight at various temperature level varieties in a single lorry. Setup of 4 kinds of evaporators of various sizes in separated compartments in the freight compartment enables synchronised policy of several temperature level zones, supporting versatile operations for providers.
Moving forward, MHI Thermal Systems will continue to promote CO2 decrease through improvement in electrical systems utilizing inverter innovation that boosts energy cost savings and temperature level control, in addition to enhancing functional effectiveness with multi-evaporator systems. By dealing with the difficulties dealing with the logistics market, such as working design reforms, enhanced transportation performance, and ecological compliance, MHI Thermal Systems will add to the awareness of safe and safe and secure transportation.
