Range Energy and Thermo King are expanding their partnership to include installation and service.
The partnership was first announced in 2024 to integrate Thermo King's hybrid trailer refrigeration units (TRUs) and electric TURs with Range Energy's eTrailer system.
Now, the companies will try to establish a comprehensive go-to-market strategy, joint sales, distribution, installation and service.
