Thermo King trailer unit
Precedent S-750i
A hybrid-electric architecture with integrated shore power, for powerful performance on and off the road.
Why the Precedent S-750i
Shore power, built in
An electrically driven scroll compressor cuts operating costs on shore power.
Frozen capacity at -20°F
Delivers 26,500 BTU/hr at -20°F on diesel and 25,500 BTU/hr on shore power, at 100°F ambient and high-speed engine operation.
A 50-state solution
Built on the proven S-Series engine, it meets current and proposed CARB ULETRU emissions without a DPF, so it runs in all 50 states.
Fewer engine run hours
Quicker pull-down and recovery from null, plus smart use of three engine speeds, mean fewer engine run hours and less engine maintenance.
TracKing from the factory
Every S-750i is factory-equipped with TracKing telematics for temperature monitoring, rapid alarm detection and door-open security alerts.
Next-generation controller
A full-color, high-resolution display designed for ease of use, with proactive alarms that show a recommended next best action.

Thermo King built the S-750i on its proven S-Series engine. It meets current and proposed CARB ULETRU emissions without a DPF, so it runs in all 50 states. It uses R452A refrigerant.
Built to plug in.
What Thermo King changed in the S-750i, and what it means at the dock and on the road.
Shore power, built in.

Plug in at the dock and an electrically driven Thermo King scroll compressor does the work, which cuts shore power operating costs. 460-volt, 3-phase AC shore power is standard.
- Fewer emissions than diesel
- At least 3 decibels quieter than running the diesel engine
- Fewer engine hours, so less engine maintenance and a longer unit life
Benefits of shore power operation.
Three engine speeds.

Quicker pull-down and recovery from null, and smart use of three engine speeds, mean fewer engine run hours and less engine maintenance.
- First use of a diesel-electric architecture with integrated shore power
- First use of a 3-speed engine
- First use of a next-generation control system
What's new in the S-750i.
Any load, any dock.

The S-750i has the industry's deepest frozen unit capacity: 26,500 BTU/hr at -20°F on diesel, and 25,500 on shore power.
A controller made for the yard.
The S-750i has a new controller and display, built to be easy to use.
- Full-color, high-resolution displayDesigned for ease of use and convenience
- Fast startThermo King's fastest boot time yet
- IP69K ratedFully submersible, dustproof and resistant to shocks
- Fuel insightConsumption and fuel remaining, with the optional sensor fitted
- Proactive alarmsAlarm codes with a recommended next best action
- Data loggingOver a year of capacity, and 14 language options
