Locauto Van launches fleet of refrigerated vans

One year after the debut of the Locauto Van division, the Group introduces a new type of service, enriching the fleet with a line of refrigerated vans to offer tailor-made rental solutions for temperature-controlled transportation (e.g., catering services, event organization, transportation of drugs or food products, etc.).

The new fleet consists of three models: the Mercedes Sprinter 314 CDI medium wheelbase, which is efficient, reliable and safe; the Iveco Daily 35C16 with a substantial 16^m3 load cell ; and the Volkswagen Crafter 2.2 with front-wheel drive and a streamlined (13^m3) refrigerated cell suitable for moving through traffic with greater agility. All of our commercial vehicles are equipped with Carrier refrigeration units, some with Lamberet equipment, leading companies in the industry.

The temperature range for all refrigerated vehicles is +20°/-20° with ATP FRCX-approved cold rooms to allow cross-use and ensure the best cold chain seal for transported goods.

“2019 represents an important year to strengthen the business,” comments Francesca Saponaro, Locauto Van Business Unit Director, “with major investments that focus above all on the quality and reliability of the product offered. With refrigerated vehicles we are targeting experienced customers with often occasional and temporary needs who can rely on our short-term rental solutions.”

The offering is complemented by a dedicated 24/7 Carrier service for the refrigeration plant and an always-on breakdown service to ensure customers receive a high quality of service by assisting them when needed.

The refrigerated vans are already available in many cities such as Turin, Genoa, Milan, Ferrara, Rome, Pescara, Olbia and Palermo with the aim of increasing the capillarity of the service throughout Italy during 2019. The rental service can be booked online at www.locautorent.com or by phone at + 39 02 430201.
