Zer0° Emission is an example of an electric vehicle set up for refrigerated transport upfitted by Lauri SRL as per Nissan and Mercedes Benz request.
The transformation was applied on the 100% electric 40 kWh Nissan e-NV200 commercial vehicle, with an electric refrigeration unit (Frigo Lamar LMK 1.2) operating 12VDC, which can also work via external power supply 220V single phase.
This unit provides cooling during the drive, or when parked, throughout connection to power grid.
After intense testing, we can declare that this transformation reduces the original mileage of the vehicle by approximately 25% and that the costs of the transformation of electric vehicles are in line with those normally incurred for the realization of the same, on vehicles with diesel engines or gas.
Instead, for the transformation of the Mercedes-Benz eVito electric van, a unit connected to the on-board network was designed, capable of using energy intelligently, with the addition of a relatively small back up battery.
This system works in three different modes that guarantee cooling during the entire delivery process: during charging (the absorbed energy used to maintain the constant temperature comes directly from the grid); during the drive it is provided by the main battery; during stops the auxiliary battery is activated which acts as a "buffer" leaving the main to rest.
