A multi-temperature van — two modes in one body
One body divided by an insulated bulkhead into two temperature compartments, each holding its own temperature. One vehicle then carries frozen and chilled goods in a single run, instead of two trips or two trucks.
Quote is based on body, chassis and temperature range.
How it works
What makes up a multi-temperature body
| Component | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| An insulated bulkhead | Splits the body into two temperature compartments; on the vehicles built there is a two-leaf door between them |
| An evaporator per compartment | The compartments cool independently; the setting of one does not drag the other with it |
| A multi-temperature unit | One unit serves both circuits: a Carrier Xarios 600 MT or an Elinge in multi-temperature form |
| A two-circuit controller | In the cab, temperature set separately per compartment (COMP 1 / COMP 2) |
| A 100 mm sandwich panel | The thickness for freezing in the heat: −18 °C inside at +40 °C outside |

COND multi-temperature vans — what has been built
Both vehicles are built on a GAZelle Next. The figures come from the project pages themselves, where the photographs and full specifications are.
| Vehicle | Body | Volume | Installation |
|---|---|---|---|
| GAZelle NEXT A21R23 | 3,200 × 2,100 × 2,200 mm | 11.3 m³ — 4 europallets | Carrier Xarios 600 MT |
| GAZelle NEXT A21R35 | 4,250 mm long | — | Elinge, multi-temperature version |

FAQ
FAQ about the multi-temperature van
The body is split by an insulated bulkhead into two temperature compartments, each with its own evaporator. An ordinary refrigerated van has one compartment and one temperature for the whole volume.
The temperature is set by the unit and the panel thickness, not by the number of compartments. The vehicles built carry a 100 mm panel, rated for freezing to −18 °C at +40 °C outside; the second compartment can then be held at chilled temperatures.
The bulkhead is fitted in place while the body is built: the ratio of the compartments is decided before assembly, to suit your route and load. The vehicles built have no movable bulkhead.
One multi-temperature unit: a Carrier Xarios 600 MT or an Elinge in multi-temperature form. There are two evaporators, one per compartment, controlled separately from the cab.
Both vehicles built are on a GAZelle Next, category B. The limit is not the chassis but the volume: the smaller the body, the more each cubic metre costs once it is split in two.
