Thermo King says that Danish foodservice distributor Dansk Cater A/S has successfully deployed a fleet of new fully electric Scania Regional trucks equipped with e-adapted Frigoblock EK refrigeration units.
Dansk Cater operates a fleet of more than 300 vehicles nationwide, supplying temperature-sensitive goods to restaurants, schools, and universities. The latest Scania battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) will serve selected inner-city and regional routes in and around Copenhagen, delivering quiet, zero-emission operations both day and night.
The Frigoblock EK units have been specifically upgraded for Scania’s latest electric truck platform, ensuring high efficiency while meeting safety and technical requirements. Thermo King worked closely with Scania and Danish dealer Im. Stiholt A/S to fully integrate the refrigeration system into the trucks’ high-voltage architecture.
According to Thermo King, the e-adapted units maintain the same multi-temperature cooling performance as diesel-powered models, while an undermount configuration and reduced power draw further lower noise levels—an important factor for urban deliveries.
“Our priority was to achieve emissions and noise reduction without sacrificing reliability or cooling capacity,” said Kim Christiansen, transport manager at Dansk Cater. “Thanks to Thermo King’s tailored solution and collaboration with Scania, we can operate a fully electrified fleet in urban areas without disrupting customers or local communities.”
Sergio Blas Medina, product manager for Large Truck Electrification at Thermo King, added: “The Frigoblock EK for BEV trucks reflects our ongoing collaboration with vehicle manufacturers and fleet operators to deliver practical, high-performing electric refrigeration solutions. Our partnership with Scania and Dansk Cater shows how fully electric refrigerated transport can succeed in real-world conditions.”
