The traditional refrigerated trailer refrigerant R452A, which R454A replaces, has a GWP of 2,140. "Working with Carrier Transicold allows us to take meaningful steps towards reducing emissions across our fleet," said Cliff Smith, Tesco's fleet engineering manager.

The Vector HE 19 has undergone a comprehensive internal redesign to accommodate the low GWP refrigerant while maintaining the familiar user experience and performance of the standard Vector platform. The system includes leak-detection sensors and a pump-down system that automatically recovers refrigerant in the event of a leak.
