Carrier Vector 8700 logo

Features and Benefits:

  • E-Drive™ technology. Innovative hybrid design uses a new smart engine to drive the generator powering its all-electric refrigeration system, resulting in better fuel economy and performance.
  • Enhanced compliance. Reduced emissions that surpass EPA Tier 4, and lifetime compliant with California Air Resources Board (CARB) requirements without the need for future exhaust systems. Sustainability enhanced with R-452A, a lower global warming potential refrigerant.
  • Ultra-high efficiency. Provides 10% greater fuel efficiency than its standard counterpart, thanks to its three-speed engine with common-rail fuel injection.
  • Reduced maintenance and exceptional reliability. Fewer moving parts, which reduces maintenance requirements, optimizing reliability and uptime.
  • Intelligent operation. A unique ability to turn components on when needed and off when not.
  • Built-in electric standby. Cuts fuel consumption, noise, emissions and operating costs when the unit is stationary and plugged into a power source.
