Schmitz Cargobull is the first trailer manufacturer to officially include the electric generator axle of the S.KOe COOL refrigerated trailer in its overall vehicle type approval, making it a pioneer in the trailer industry as a commercial vehicle manufacturer. The approval has been officially granted by the Federal Motor Transport Authority.
(Horstmar) The fully electric S.KOe COOL refrigerated trailer thus meets all relevant legal safety, environmental, and production requirements of the European Union. The proof was provided through mandatory type tests on a vehicle or its components. The systems were approved with the support of TÜV Rheinland. The required type test for the overall vehicle approval of the three-axle, fully electric S.KOe COOL refrigerated trailer was successfully conducted by the technical service of SGS TÜV.
Since 2014, Schmitz Cargobull has been working trustfully with TÜV Rheinland on all electrification projects and has successfully brought this project to fruition.
“We are pleased to be the first OEM to receive this type approval for our fully electric S.KOe COOL refrigerated trailer,” said Boris Billich, Sales Board Member at Schmitz Cargobull. “Our customers now have the confirmation that a tested overall system is provided to them ex works, which complies with all applicable European regulations. The safe and environmentally friendly operation of the vehicle is therefore carried out without any subsequent and additional administrative testing effort.”
