Azure Dynamics receives order for 248 Leep Freeze systems

Azure Dynamics, a Canadian supplier of electric vehicle control and powertrain systems, has received an order from Kidron, a manufacturer of truck bodies and trailers, for 248 Leep Freeze systems.

Kidron is a division of VT Specialized Vehicles, a manufacturer of specialized truck bodies and trailers. The systems were ordered by Idealease, a provider of solutions for private truck fleets, on behalf of its client Schwan Food Company.

According to Azure Dynamics, the UltraTemp with Leep Freeze delivers reliable power to refrigerated transport vehicles while cutting fuel consumption and emissions. The Leep Freeze system draws energy from the vehicle's primary engine during normal driving and delivers it to the UltraTemp cold plate system.

By eliminating the diesel engine that is part of a conventional refrigeration system, UltraTemp with Leep Freeze can save up to a gallon of fuel per hour and maintains set-point temperatures even when the engine is off.

Jay Sandler, vice president of sales at Azure Dynamics, said: "The UltraTemp with Leep Freeze product is earning a strong reputation and gaining popularity in the refrigerated transportation industry, so we have been anticipating incremental sales. However, a fleet order for 248 Leep units is a significant milestone that positions our product at the forefront of industry awareness and consideration."
