CARRIER TRANSICOLD
Why did you choose to participate in SOLUTRANS 2023?
Carrier Transicold is one of the leaders in its sector; taking part in SOLUTRANS, which ranks among the world's leading trade fairs in the sector, is an opportunity for us to meet our customers and present our refrigeration systems designed to reduce emissions and improve reliability, by offering our customers low-carbon solutions, advanced connectivity and visibility.
This 17th edition focuses on sustainable solutions for a greener transportation industry. The latest innovations we will be showcasing this year are in line with these issues, as they aim to perfectly adapt to environmental and connectivity challenges to increase the efficiency of the refrigerated transport sector and help reduce its emissions.
What opportunity does this represent for your company?
As the world crossroads for industrial and urban vehicles, SOLUTRANS expects 50,000 visits from professionals for this 2023 edition, which suggests a strong interest from all market players.
Participating in SOLUTRANS 2023 is an opportunity for us to demonstrate that we are experts and leaders in truck refrigeration technologies and services.
Our commitment to innovation continues today with a renewed focus on creating solutions that will change the world for the better, as we continue to develop and launch products that improve efficiency, performance and sustainability, including reducing fuel consumption. We are proud to say that with our current lineup, we offer an electric solution for 100% of the trucks and semi-trailers on the road.
At Carrier Transicold, we prioritize solutions that address the challenges presented by the mega-trends of urbanization, climate change and the food needs of the world's growing population. By 2030, Carrier's goal is to reduce our customers' carbon footprint by more than a gigatonne and we are putting in place all the necessary actions to achieve this ambitious goal.
What will be your news at the show?
Following the development of the eCool series, which offers our customers fully decarbonized and connected electric solutions, we have been working with the equipment manufacturer Bosch to develop the Vector® HE 19 powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. Our main objective is to offer ranges equivalent to diesel solutions, with equivalent recharge times. This unit can be fitted to all types of refrigerated semi-trailers, regardless of the body builder or manufacturer, including retrofits.

RENAULT PRO +
Why did you choose to participate in SOLUTRANS 2023?
Because we love trade shows! First of all, the presence of the Renault Group on the different editions of SOLUTRANS is historical.
Moreover, it allows us to develop links with the road transport ecosystem and its various players, whether they are suppliers, partners or competitors of our business.
What opportunities does this represent for your company? SOLUTRANS 2023 will enable us once again to demonstrate the Renault Group's know-how in terms of vehicles adapted to professional customers, in particular thanks to the partnerships we are developing with our Renault Pro+ approved bodybuilders.
It will also be an opportunity to showcase our new digital solutions and the range of services we offer our business customers.
The extent of our range of vehicles is recognized by all the players in the transformation process as being the most suitable for customization, thanks to its design and its features designed to facilitate transformations via our approved bodywork partners.
Finally, it is also an opportunity to exhibit our wide range of commercial vehicles and to allow visitors to discover them in real life.
What will be your news on the show?
This edition of SOLUTRANS will be an exceptional one for the Renault brand.
Indeed, we will take advantage of the opening of the show to reveal, as a world premiere, a brand new commercial vehicle.

VOLTA TRUCKS
Why did you choose to participate in SOLUTRANS 2023?
The freight transport sector is undergoing major changes. Whether it's the necessary transition from fossil fuels to alternative energies or the shortage of drivers, the entire industry is trying to reinvent itself.
Energy transition and attractiveness of the profession are key issues at Volta Trucks, which, along with the safety of drivers and road users, are at the heart of our DNA. SOLUTRANS is an essential meeting place for professionals in the transport sector and a benchmark event in Europe. As a manufacturer and player in the new face of transport, we had to be present, especially as the themes defined for this 2023 edition particularly reflect our ambitions: urban logistics and new energies are inseparable from the Volta Trucks value proposition.
What opportunities does this represent for your company?
Our customers need to act quickly. They want to accelerate their energy transition but don't always know how to get started. The first thought is about the truck and the charging stations of course, but very quickly, many questions emerge: Will electric meet my needs? Will the vehicle's autonomy be sufficient? Who should I contact to install charging stations? Will the TCO be higher than that of a combustion vehicle? Who will maintain the trucks? And what about insurance or driver training?
SOLUTRANS is the ideal opportunity for us to come into contact with future customers, to show them the specificities of the Volta Zero, to discuss their problems and to present our "Truck as a Service" offer. It is important to understand that we do not sell trucks; we offer a global tailor-made solution that covers the customer's entire electrification project. Thanks to the strategic partnerships we have formed with all the players in the electrification chain, we are able to support the customer at every stage of the electrification of his fleet, enabling him to make the transition to electric vehicles with peace of mind.
SOLUTRANS will also be an opportunity to show those who still doubt that the Volta Zero is not a dream, but a reality, with the first trucks coming off the production line and starting to circulate on European roads!
What will be your news at the show?
We started the year with the European type approval for the Volta Zero. By the time Solutrans is held, we will have initiated the process of testing our customers in real conditions. We will of course present the Volta Zero, but we will also focus on our "Truck as a Service" offer, which allows us to accompany our customers from A to Z in their electrification project. We want visitors to know that Volta Trucks offers much more than just the sale of a truck, and that our teams of experts will be at their side throughout the preparation and after-sales stages. This year, we are highlighting both the Volta Zero and the TaaS offer.
We have just announced some strategic partnerships with players such as Top Trucks, Enedis or Siemens; this will be an opportunity for us to discuss these alliances. But we also have some surprises in store for you, as usual!
