Advancer, is a disruptive new re-imagining of the trailer refrigeration unit. The Advancer A-Series is available in three different versions, the A-360, A-400, and A-500, and offers an all-new design architecture that creates a bold new standard for performance, temperature control, and fleet connectivity. With fully variable airflow, unrivalled fuel efficiency, and a significantly lowered cost of ownership, the Advancer represents the future of trailer refrigeration.
The ambition behind Advancer is to move beyond incremental enhancements and to create a trailer refrigeration unit that features innovations never before seen on the market. Equally, the performance delivered by the A-Series is unrivalled, featuring groundbreaking temperature control, superior load protection, and unmatched fuel efficiency. Combined, these capabilities deliver greater operational flexibility, while helping customers achieve significant improvements in fleet uptime and total cost of ownership.
Vaccines or vegetables? Fully variable airflow – independent from unit engine speed – lets you meticulously control trailer conditions to create the perfect climate for every type of cargo. All the while dramatically increasing fuel efficiency thanks to our 48V DC mild hybrid architecture. The result? The highest airflow on the market in trailers up to 15.6 meters long.*

What does this mean for you? That’s right, Advancer’s unique airflow capabilities gives you greater cargo protection at reduced operating costs.
Advancer delivers the fastest pulldown on the road today. It’s up to 40% quicker to pull down in comparative testing under lab conditions.
As you know, the proof is in the pudding. And Advancer has conquered every challenge we have thrown at it:
The field trial testing the units in real life conditions and comparison tests against the predecessor and other flagship refrigeration units have shown that Advancer is up to 40 percent quicker to pull down and up to 30 percent more fuel-efficient than the market average. The field trial units travelled over 1 million kilometres across different climate zones and counted tens of thousands of running hours in diesel and electric modes. They have crossed deserts, operated at high altitudes, travelled on ferries to cross the seas and on trains for intermodal operations. Throughout the tests, the Advancer units proved to be trouble free.
Advancer was designed with fewer moving parts to help minimize both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. Take changing your air filter: it now takes 60% less time than before.
ADVANCER PAYS ITSELF BACK IN LESS THAN 24 months
The incremental investment for acquiring an Advancer unit is typically recuperated in less than 24 months thanks to its standout fuel savings, system efficiency, and uptime.
20% more fuel efficient than it’s predecessor. Advancer is the first-ever unit to display and record fuel consumption data – accessible on the HMI and via TK TracKing portal – including: fuel consumption by trip, total consumed liters per hour, total consumption / remaining fuel and alerts on fuel theft.
Did you know that two-thirds of all service call outs are related to empty fuel tanks and flat batteries after long standstills?
We did. Which is why Advancer has a sensor on the battery and an optional fuel sensor inside the tank. This way, warnings will reach you before it’s too late and you can evolve from reactive to proactive maintenance with confidence.
Advancer is 100% compliant with any European emission legislation – from NRMM Stage V to urban Low Emission Zones across the continent.
Thanks to the unit’s reduced emissions, hybrid and axle power capabilities, and power-agnostic design – Advancer is sure to pass any future regulatory test with flying colors.
Can you hear the silence? Advancer** lets you run inner city deliveries at night without waking up a soul.
The most intelligent trailer refrigeration unit ever helps you react to potential disruptions before they even occur. As the first unit ever Advancer comes with a free 2-year Connected Solutions subscription. Incidents outside of your control? Full traceability of individual deliveries lets you demonstrate temperature records to meet all regulatory and customer requirements.
Advanced Capabilities with BlueBox as standard
Think smartphone manufacturers have a monopoly on the latest thing? Think again. Advancer’s new controller can handle most operations in 3 clicks, boasts a large colour screen and has an icon-based user interface for driver convenience. That will help your drivers to get going quicker.
