The European Transport Award 2022 for Sustainability - category bodies and trailers - for Kiesling refrigerated vehicles!

Film: Sustainable refrigerated vehicles from climate-neutral production

How can refrigerated transport become more sustainable and economical? Kiesling Fahrzeugbau GmbH provides answers to this question and has now received the ETPN European Transport Award for Sustainability 2022 in the category trailers and bodies in Munich.

Increasing energy efficiency through the use of the Cool Slide partition system is one example of how refrigerated carriers can reduce their energy consumption and CO2 emissions, while at the same time cutting diesel costs accordingly.

For the production of the cooling superstructures, the company operates foaming plants and manufactures the high-quality FIP (Fully Integrated Panel) superstructures using a special production process. Thanks to this production process, the superstructures are particularly impact-resistant and stable, which guarantees a long service life.  The recycling of the cooling superstructures (including a TÜV-approved recycling quota) is another added value that Kiesling currently offers as the only manufacturer for the FIP superstructures produced in Tomerdingen.

Kiesling has been committed to environmentally friendly production for many years and has already been certified according to ISO 50001 and 14001 since 2014. The consumption of energy and resources has been reduced in many areas, renewable energies have been used and the roof surfaces have been equipped with PV systems, which produce approx. 550.000 kWh per year, with a consumption of 511.000 kWh.

Another reason for the award of the ETPN lies in the efforts and numerous measures for sustainable production around the production of the bodies:
Kiesling Fahrzeugbau GmbH has been producing climate-neutrally (according to Scope 1 and 2) since 2020!
