Schmitz Cargobull has become the first trailer manufacturer to gain type approval for a fully-electric refrigerated semi-trailer with an e-axle.
The S.KOe COOL with generator axle has achieved overall vehicle type approval by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (Kraftfahrtbundesamt) after meeting all the relevant statutory safety, environmental and production requirements of the EU.
The required type test for the complete vehicle approval of the S.KOe COOL three-axle, fully-electric semi-trailer was successfully carried out by the technical service of SGS TÜV and is the culmination of nearly ten years work having first began their relationship on all electrification projects in 2014.
"We are delighted to be the first OEM to receive this type approval for our fully-electric S.KOe COOL semi-trailer," said Boris Billich, chief sales officer at Schmitz Cargobull.
"This confirms to our customers that they are being provided with a tested overall system that complies with all applicable European regulations. The safe and environmentally compatible operation of the vehicle therefore takes place without any subsequent and additional administrative testing effort."
