Vector® HE 17 Trailer Refrigeration Unit
High-efficiency, versatility and optimized total cost of ownership
The Vector® HE 17 is Carrier Transicold's latest high-efficiency trailer refrigeration unit, engineered to deliver superior cooling performance while significantly reducing fuel consumption and noise levels. Based on Carrier's proven all-electric E Drive® architecture and advanced inverter technology, the Vector HE 17 sets a new benchmark for total cost of ownership (TCO) in its category.
Efficiency on the Move, Trailer Cooling Redefined
Designed for single-temperature trailer applications, the Vector HE 17 is equally suited to long-haul transportation and urban distribution, where fuel efficiency, quiet operation and operational reliability are critical.
By combining lower fuel usage, reduced maintenance-related stress and efficient energy management, the Vector HE 17 delivers long-term economic and environmental benefits for fleet operators across Europe.

Variable Speed Compressor
The Vector HE 17 is equipped with inverter technology that allows the speed up or slow down of the compressor speed according to cooling load. This high-efficiency compressor, coupled with the reduction of a low diesel engine speed, allows the Vector HE 17 unit to provide better cooling performance fuel savings and reductions in both sound and CO2 emissions.
Inverter Technology
Inverter technology allows to control compressor speed and deliver only the power needed to the refrigeration unit. With this technology, temperature is adjusted by changing compressor speed without turning the compressor on and off, thus allowing for perfect adjustment between cooling capacity needs and power demand, while reducing energy consumption at its lowest level, avoiding high peaks of power due to unnecessary compressor restart.
