Kögel Cool Liteshell

Innovation that moves things forward

image

Refrigerated transportation rethought

Temperature-controlled logistics, especially refrigerated transportation, are essential for many industries. Maintaining efficient cold chains is a top priority and plays a crucial role in the smooth functioning of the economy.

Acting cool in a hotly contested market

Stricter regulations for the transportation of sensitive and perishable goods as well as growing market requirements ensure quality, but at the same time demand a high level of care during transportation. The digitalization of logistics chains and just-in-time fresh food logistics are increasing the need for efficient and environmentally friendly refrigerated vehicles. Climate change is also intensifying these requirements.

Innovative solutions for growing demand

The challenges for logistics planners and users are great and will continue to increase. This makes it all the more important to focus now on innovative, economical and sustainable solutions that open up new opportunities and offer tangible benefits. Here comes the solution: The KÖGEL COOL LITESHELL - the new generation refrigerated vehicle.

The new economic miracle

Maximum availability, more economical than ever

Efficiency as a success factor:
The new lightweight construction 

The innovation can be seen in the new LITESHELL panel technology, which dispenses with a steel top layer. Instead, the panels consist of milled PU rigid foam and a top layer of glass fiber mats with a TPU outer shell. The GRP cross-members in the vehicle floor offer a further efficiency boost, providing better insulation than conventional wooden beams. The stability of the GRP reduces the material thickness and increases the foam volume by around 20 %.

Resistance as a success factor:
Tough as nails, reliably there

The new outer skin of the KÖGEL COOL LITESHELL is more impact-resistant and elastic, making it more resistant than previous designs. Thanks to the continuous surface, there is less surface area for damage, for example from branches, and the surface is better protected against light impacts.
Minor damage can be repaired more easily by specialized service workshops. The LITESHELL panels make painting work superfluous.
