The oil-new trailer platform that delivers double-digit fuel savings and offers compliance choices that don't compromise performance.

We Staked Our Legacy on Creating an Entirely New One For nearly 75 years, Thermo King has delivered superior products and performance for its customers. And with Precedent, we’re taking that reputation to an entirely new level, from improved reliability standards to compliance choices that don’t compromise performance. It’s our very best — and it’s meant to help your business save more money across every mile. Precedent began as a complete blank slate. Innovative strategies were brought to the table. Tried-and-true methods were held to higher standards. New technologies were considered; some...

Precedent™. The Future of Fuel Efficiency. Thermo King PRECEDENT

All-New Diesel-Direct Electric Architecture: Designed to Outperform Everything The Precedent platform utilizes an all-new DDE (Diesel Direct Electric) architecture to drive optimum efficiencies and double-digit fuel savings across real-world applications. It’s a smarter approach, with the expressed goal of making a lasting difference on your budget. In addition to brand-new technologies, there are also some familiar components residing within the Precedent architecture. The well-proven X-430 reciprocating compressor provides the performance and reliability Thermo King is famous for and, when...

Thermo King PRECEDENT

Architecture Precedent: EVERY COMPONENT ENGINEERED FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE Evaporator Blower Assembly Precedent’s evaporator assembly moves air more efficiently than ever. Leveraging the Smooth Air™ blower system, the airfoil blade profile and contoured air inlets deliver maximum airflow with minimal power draw. We used compression molding to produce both the evaporator and condenser side sections using SMC material and insulation with a 6.7/inch R-value to isolate the condenser and evaporator airflow sections. The bulkhead is structural, allowing for the direct mounting of hardware to cut system...

Condenser System With two very large coils - on both road and curb sides - Precedent’s condenser system could be called massive. It could also be called smarter, as both brazed aluminum coils are curved to maximize surface area and improve airflow across the entire structure. More than double the surface area of previous units means faster pull down and more efficient operation Micro channel design improves airflow while consuming less engine power Curb side radiator provides independent engine cooling Independent fan operation for greater efficiency Thermo King PRECEDENT

Engine Engine Choices for Precedent: Emissions Compliance paired with Enhanced Performance At Thermo King, we approached the 2013 emissions requirement as an opportunity to flex our ingenuity. And we started by selecting and developing engine choices that comply with regulations without negatively impacting fuel efficiency. But we didn’t stop there. Our evergreen solution meets the strictest requirements of the 2013 emissions regulation.* Meaning customers can select the S-Series and not have to invest in costly compliance technologies down the road. For customers seeking a lower first cost option,...

* S-Series models, which include the S-600, S-700 and S-600M, already meet Tier 4 final emissions certification by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB). Further, they comply with CARB’s Ultra-Low-Emission Transport Refrigeration Unit In-Use Performance Standards (ULETRU). Thermo King PRECEDENT

PRECEDENT S-600 and S-700 The Precedent S-Series features a >25 horsepower engine with emission control technologies that minimize fuel consumption and deliver lifelong emissions compliance. S - S eries The S-Series is an evergreen* solution that delivers double-digit fuel efficiency gains without the uncertainty of future compliance. No Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Developed to achieve emissions compliance, the pressure common rail fuel delivery system controls Precedent engine is notable for what it does not particulate matter within the cylinder while improving have: a Diesel Particulate...

Engine PRECEDENT C-600 The lower-horsepower engine in the C-600 takes full advantage of the architecture of Precedent and provides the pull-down performance appropriate for many applications. This <25 horsepower engine uses mechanical fuel injection and other enhancements to meet emissions requirements while delivering reliable, efficient cooling power for your business. C-SERIES Utilizing an advanced control platform, the C-series intelligently monitors engine performance and provides significant gains in fuel efficiency. * S-Series models, which include the S-600, S-700 and S-600M, already...
