Daikin launches its Zanotti range of Van and Truck Refrigeration Solutions

16 markets in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) will now benefit from “Daikin Transport Refrigeration” sales and service of van and truck transport refrigeration. The subsidiary of Daikin Industries Limited, a global leader operating in more than 150 countries and shaping the future of heating, cooling, ventilation and refrigeration, thereby increases its market presence.

Oostend, Belgium/Vienna, Austria May 2021 – “The launch of this attractive new offer is the culmination of Zanotti’s decades of refrigeration expertise combined with Daikin’s unparalleled design and manufacturing capabilities. We are not only investing in products, people and partners but now also expand into CEE markets with the clear mission to become the first choice for customers in road transport refrigeration across the entire van and truck range. Through our extensive sales and service network, we are delivering integrated cold chain solution across Europe, covering all refrigeration needs from farm to fork”, says Junji Umamoto, Vice President, Daikin Europe N.V.

The Daikin group, with 95 years of leadership in air conditioning and refrigeration, is world-renowned for its pioneering approach to product development and unrivalled quality and versatility of its integrated solutions. Since the acquisition of Zanotti in 2016, the company has been investing in all aspects of the business, from R&D and manufacturing to sales and service and commercial capabilities.

“A good example for this is our innovative R&D Centre for Refrigeration, right next to our Zanotti factory in Mantova, Italy, which is due for completion soon. It is a unique collaborative research and development facility with ATP* certified testing capacity for our portfolio from the smallest to the largest units”, continues Umamoto. Zanotti, founded in 1962, has a long tradition like Daikin and is contributing with decades of experience meeting the needs of commercial and industrial refrigeration, and the transportation of fresh and frozen products.

What are the concrete benefits?

Additionally to its comprehensive product and service portfolio linked to tailor-made solutions, Zanotti is committed to lowering the total costs of ownership for its customers across its entire range:

• The Invisible range units, unique to the market, are installed beneath the chassis of the vehicle preserving the aesthetics, original height and aerodynamics. In the last four years alone, Invisible units have been installed in thousands of vehicles proving especially popular with food retail and pharma companies.
• The Zero range units offer excellent flexibility for light commercial vehicles thanks to its easy installation and serviceability and options to mount the condensing unit on the roof or the front wall of the box as well as an ultra-thin evaporator installed in the cargo compartment to maximise cargo volume.
• The SFZ light truck range for light to medium trucks is a proven solution optimized for energy efficiency, low noise, and easy-to-service transport of temperature-controlled goods in medium sized boxes.
• The newly redesigned Uno range units are independently powered and available in various capacities for medium to heavy trucks. The Uno features Zanotti’s innovative direct coupling design between the engine and the compressor and utilises Daikin’s expertise in design for reliability and performance. The results are a high cooling performance, energy efficiency and extended maintenance intervals to minimise the total cost of ownership
