Two reefers from a single batch for mixed distribution. The body is split into two compartments by an insulated bulkhead with a two-leaf door, each compartment has its own evaporator — frozen and chilled cargo travel on the same run. The refrigeration unit Elinge sits above the cab. The front compartment is reached through a side door on the right, the rear one through hinged doors with a folding ladder. The floor and the kerb along the bottom of the walls are chequer-plate aluminium. The chassis runs on gas: a propane cylinder under the frame and a GAS marking on the windscreen.
FAQ about the multi-temperature van on a GAZelle Next
So that one vehicle carries frozen and chilled goods on the same run. A distributor with a mixed order — dumplings and dairy, ice cream and drinks — otherwise runs two trucks: two drivers, two fuel tanks, two lots of depreciation. Here the cargo splits between the compartments and the route stays single.
By an insulated bulkhead made of the same sandwich panel as the body walls, with a two-leaf door in the middle — you can see it in the photo with the rear doors open. Each compartment has its own evaporator, so the duties are held independently.
The front compartment cannot be reached through the rear doors without going through the rear one. The side door on the right gives direct access to the front compartment — at a stop the driver does not shuffle boxes but takes what is needed from their own section. On a narrow street it is also safer to unload from the pavement than from the carriageway.
Category B: the gross weight of the GAZelle Next is 3,500 kg. That is its main argument against medium-duty trucks — a driver is easier and cheaper to find. The chassis specifications are on the page GAZelle Next.
No. The engine-driven Elinge unit works the same whatever fuel the engine burns. The propane cylinder sits under the frame and takes no space beneath the body.
Yes, the bulkhead and the second evaporator are not tied to the GAZelle. For a longer body we take a unit one class up — we select by the volume of each compartment and by the duties required. How such a van is built we covered in a separate article.
More than a plain reefer of the same size: a bulkhead, a second evaporator and its pipework are added. How much more depends on how the volume is split and which duties each compartment needs. Leave a request or write on WhatsApp and we will send a quote. COND does not publish prices for bodies.
COND is a factory with its own WMI manufacturer code, so we issue the full set of conversion paperwork and the entry in the vehicle passport.
