ATHENS, Ga. (April 18, 2007) — Carrier Transicold, saying that nothing finishes off the look of a rig like the bold look of chrome, is now offering several ways to add “bling” to refrigeration and auxiliary power units (APUs) with the mirror finish.

For the ComfortPro APU, Carrier dealers offer two aftermarket chrome kits, a smooth chrome finish and a diamond-plate finish. The ComfortPro APU provides both heating and air conditioning climate control as well as AC power supply, truck battery charging, engine warming and optional shore-power connectivity.

Available either dealer-installed or do-it-yourself, Carrier officials said the ComfortPro Chrome customization kits include a set of adhesive-backed exterior panels, and both take only minutes to install.

Kit CP100 has flat panels made of chrome-plated 430 stainless steel, and Kit CP200 has chrome-plated aluminum panels with a tread pattern that perfectly matches the ComfortPro APU’s access panels.

Carrier’s standard single-temperature units in the new X2-Series are white with a black grille, trim and latches. However, an optional package includes chrome latches for the access panels and a bright chrome grille that nicely contrasts with the unit’s black trim.

The company said the chrome package is an option available when ordering any unit in the X2-Series, Carrier’s new role models in single-temperature trailer refrigeration, featuring a modern appearance, reduced sound output and exceptional serviceability access.
