Co-op has completed the UK's first trial of Carrier Transicold's new Supra HE 11 MT truck refrigeration unit, achieving a 25% reduction in fuel consumption and 10% less electricity use on standby. These efficiency gains could cut CO2 emissions by 2.5 tonnes per unit annually. Impressed by the results, Co-op has ordered 86 more units for 2025.

The Supra HE 11 MT is quieter, lighter, and more compact, reducing noise by 2dB(A) and requiring fewer maintenance visits. It enhances sustainability with fewer refrigerant leakage points. The trial unit, operating from Co-op’s Newhouse facility, will remain part of its 2,300-vehicle fleet. Carrier Transicold will also supply Co-op with 106 additional temperature-controlled systems in 2025.
