Thermo King and Frigoblock returned to the bi-annual IAA trade fair (Hannover, 20-27th September 2018) in style this year. Three stands, the latest product announcements, new solutions, services and innovations and towering above them all: our vision of Thermotopia.
This is a concept that caused a great stir at the event, offering a shared vision from Thermo King and Frigoblock on the future of refrigerated transport. It also offered a platform for showcasing innovation, and detailing how the technologies needed to realize a bright new tomorrow are already being made available to dealers and customers today.
Better still it provided the perfect link to the overall theme of IAA 2018: Driving Tomorrow – the future of mobility, transport, and logistics. That said, a picture (or more precisely a two-minute video) is worth a thousand words – so why not see what Thermotopia looked like at the IAA by clicking here.
Big news and big announcements
Judging by footfall alone, the Thermotopia ‘space’ was very popular, with visitors able to get their hands on technologies already laying the foundations for transport in ‘the city of tomorrow’ – alongside new products and services that included:
- The E-200 full electric refrigeration unit
- The self-powered T-560R refrigeration unit
- Prisma S-4.2 low height dual discharge evaporator
- Thermo King TracKing connectivity services
- 24v Thermo King ThermoLite solar panels
- Frigoblocks’ alternator-powered, 100% electric units
Not that it was all work and no play. On the evening of the 24th we also hosted a customer night and invited our entire dealer network along. Featuring a fully stocked bar and a DJ to get the party started. This proved to be a special networking event, and a great opportunity to meet old friends and new.
