EV Reefers are designed for logistics operators seeking high performance with zero emissions. From dairy to pharmaceuticals, seafood to fresh produce, these trucks maintain precise temperature control while reducing carbon footprint.
Built on modern EV platforms, they maximize payload, extend operational range, and handle urban and long-haul routes efficiently. Fleets adopting these electric reefer vehicles, reefer vans, or reefer trucks benefit from quieter operation, lower running costs, and sustainability without compromising reliability or cargo safety.
Sub Zero's EV Reefers combine advanced insulation, durable construction, and cutting-edge electric refrigeration:
Body options in GRP or PPGI for strength, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics. Polyurethane insulation on walls and roof (>40 kg/m³) with extruded polystyrene floor for high compressive strength and water resistance.
Aluminium extrusion kick plate for a leak-proof, easy-to-clean floor. EPDM rubber door seals to maintain internal temperatures. Lithium iron battery-powered reefer units for electric cooling efficiency.
These reefers are engineered to maximize payload while giving range efficiency. Their advanced sandwich panel bodies deliver superior insulation, durability, and hygiene, ensuring cargo stays safe on every journey.
Configured to match your operation and cargo requirements.
Heavy-duty aluminium flooring designed for high load capacity and long-term durability.
Non-slip, corrosion-resistant flooring built to handle rough handling and frequent washdowns.
Lightweight, hygienic flooring with superior grip for safer loading and unloading.
Top access hatch for quick loading, inspection, or ventilation when required.
Retractable ladder system for safe roof access during maintenance and inspections.
Keeps cargo firmly in place, reducing movement and damage during transit.
Hydraulic lifting system that enables safe and effortless loading of heavy goods.
Adjustable partitioning to create multiple temperature or cargo zones as needed.
Permanent separation for consistent multi-zone temperature control.
Optimized storage solutions to organize cargo and maximize usable space.
Protective frame that safeguards the refrigeration unit from impact and damage.
An EV reefer box is an insulated cargo body designed specifically for electric commercial vehicles. It helps maintain controlled temperatures for transporting perishable goods and is commonly used on an electric reefer truck or electric refrigerated van.
Sub Zero's EV reefer boxes are compatible with a range of electric light commercial vehicle chassis. Compatibility depends on the vehicle model, payload requirements, and the intended cold chain application.
An EV reefer body uses an electric refrigeration system powered by the vehicle's battery or an independent power source. This allows electric reefers to maintain the required temperature while eliminating diesel-powered cooling.
A lightweight reefer body helps maximize payload and improve driving range. This makes it especially important for an electric refrigerated van or electric reefer truck, where battery efficiency directly impacts operational performance.
An EV reefer body can typically maintain temperatures from –25°C to +25°C, depending on the refrigeration unit and insulation used, making it suitable for a wide range of cold chain applications.
Yes. An electric reefer truck is ideal for urban and last-mile deliveries because it produces zero tailpipe emissions, operates quietly, and helps businesses meet growing sustainability goals while maintaining cold chain integrity.
An EV reefer is built for electric vehicle platforms and operates during transport using electric power. An electric standby reefer, on the other hand, can also be plugged into an external power source when the reefer truck is parked, allowing temperature control without running the refrigeration unit from the vehicle.
The cost of an EV reefer body depends on the electric vehicle chassis, body size, insulation specifications, and the electric refrigeration system selected. As a general estimate, reefer body prices start from around ₹3 lakh for smaller commercial vehicles and can exceed ₹10 lakh for larger configurations. The final cost varies based on payload requirements, temperature range, and the level of customization required for your electric cold chain operations.
EV reefer bodies are best suited for electric light commercial vehicle (eLCV) chassis used in urban and last-mile cold chain distribution. The ideal chassis depends on the required payload, body size, driving range, and delivery route. Choosing the right EV chassis helps optimize battery efficiency while ensuring reliable temperature-controlled transport.
