  • Strong fuel savings, no DPF

    A CARB ULETRU compliant S-Series engine lets you enjoy strong fuel savings for the long haul without the need for a DPF.

  • CARB Evergreen certified

    The S-700 holds CARB Evergreen Certification (since 2013) and complies with the highest possible EPA standards (>25HP Tier IV).

  • TracKing telematics built in

    Factory equipped with complimentary TracKing telematics, which helps monitor temperature and detects fuel loss.

  • Over 500 cargo profiles

    OptiSet Plus ensures temperatures are optimized and personalized with pre-set profiles for your cargo.

  • Lower refrigerant carbon footprint

    R452A provides a lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) and reduces the carbon footprint of refrigerants used by fleets by nearly 50%.
