• E-Drive technology –  This patented hybrid design from Carrier combines a diesel engine, driect-driven generator and patented electric technology to deliver the highest reliability and lowest life-cycle cost in its class.
• Unmatched reliability – The platform’s all-electric refrigeration system architecture has been refined and proven for more than a decade.
• Lowest cost of ownership – By eliminating most moving parts, we’ve reduced maintenance requirements, offering unprecedented reliability and uptime.
• EcoFORWARD technologies – System refinements for ultra high efficiencies deliever significant fuel savings, lower operating costs and compliance with 2013 EPA emissions regulations.
• Intelligent operation – Vector units have the unique ability to turn components on when they’re needed, and off when they’re not.
• Electric Standby – Standard with Vector units, this feature cuts fuel consumption, engine noise and emissions, while boosting operational savings.
