DHL chills with new trailers for Burton’s Biscuits fleet

DHL Supply Chain has added 32 new temperaturecontrolled trailers to its Burton’s Biscuits fleet, each fitted with Carrier Transicold Vector HE 19 units.

Registration for the Microlise Transport Conference 2023 has opened, with the Coventry Building Society Arena once again playing host. Held on 17 May, Europe’s largest road transport event is free to attend and designed with transport professionals in mind.

This year’s delegates will also have access to essential insights from expert speakers, an exhibition area showcasing the latest vehicle technologies, products and services, and topical workshops that complement the main agenda. Full details of speakers will be announced soon.

The units were specified by DHL and will support its GoGreen plan with fuel and energy savings and increase the efficiency of the Burton’s Biscuits operation.

The trailers replace older assets and combine all- electric technology with a new multi-speed engine design, which delivers up to 30% fuel savings over the previous model.

The system’s fully hermetic scroll compressor and economiser provide a 40% increase in refrigeration capacity during temperature pull-down, as well as a 50% reduction in refrigerant escape, saving energy across the renewed fleet.
