The smallest reefer in our range. The FAW 1027, also known as the T80, is a Chinese light truck in licence category B: any driver with an ordinary licence can take the wheel, and it gets through where a medium-duty truck cannot turn around. A reefer like this is bought for city delivery — couriers, pharmacies, coffee shops, small wholesale: when a GAZelle is more space than you need but the cold has to be real. Fitted here is Elinge C07 roof-mounted above the cab, and a side door has been fitted on the right: working along a kerb the driver takes a box from the middle of the body without unloading everything stacked by the rear doors.

More about the design on the page refrigerated vans.
This is a budget refrigerated van in the literal sense: the vehicle, the body and the servicing all cost less than any medium-duty truck. The 1.5-litre petrol engine needs no pre-heater in winter, FAW parts are available in Almaty, and ordinary workshops handle repairs.
What matters about a light delivery reefer: the payload here is up to 800 kg, and the weight of the refrigerated body has already been deducted. If you carry pallets, look at a GAZelle or a Kia Bongo. If you have 20–40 stops a day with boxes and crates, the FAW 1027 does the job and saves on fuel and parking.
This truck is fitted with Elinge C07 roof-mounted above the cab — the condenser sits over the cab, the evaporator under the body ceiling, and usable volume is not lost. The range runs from −20 to +12 °C: it suits frozen goods, chilled products and pharmaceuticals alike. On the same chassis we also fit Carrier, Elinge and Kaida — we choose by budget and temperature mode.
A 100 mm sandwich panel of our own production, frameless — no cold bridges along the ribs. Inside, the body is lined with galvanised sheet, with a chequered-aluminium kick rail along the bottom of the walls and on the door leaves. The rear doors are swing doors with rod locks; on request we add a side door — on delivery rounds it saves time, so you do not have to walk around the truck and open the whole body for a single box.
