Next Generation Electrified Refrigeration Platform

Nivalis Energy Europe will officially unveil its new next-generation electrified refrigeration platform for the first time at Transpotec-Logitec 2026.

The new next-generation platform combines battery storage, rooftop solar PV and regenerative e-axle technology – with new integration and operational intelligence – to help logistics operators fully electrify refrigerated trailer cooling systems. The new Nivalis solution also better supports the growing ESG and emissions-reduction objectives of retailers and global brands. In doing so, fleet operators can dramatically strengthen their competitiveness while simultaneously lowering operating costs, reducing charging dependency and improving the long-haul commercial viability of electrified refrigerated transport.

As electrification continues transforming commercial transport across Europe, refrigerated trailers remain one of the last major operational challenges still heavily dependent on costly and polluting diesel-powered refrigeration systems. As one of the most integrated and commercially mature electrified refrigerated transport platforms currently in the market, Nivalis believes it is uniquely positioned to help accelerate the transition away from diesel-powered refrigeration across modern cold-chain logistics.

“Over the past two years, our first-generation Powered Trailer has proven that electrified refrigerated transport can deliver real commercial and operational benefits in demanding logistics environments – and crucially, through a uniquely diversified energy architecture rather than reliance on a single power source,” said Pavel Gilman, VP Sales and Marketing at Nivalis Energy Europe.

“The next-generation platform builds on the success of our previous solution, with significant advances integration and operational intelligence – designed to further improve the commercial viability of electrified refrigerated transport. Not only does it remove one of the last major barriers to eliminating diesel-powered refrigeration from transport fleets, but our customers have also demonstrated how the platform can lower OPEX while becoming an important commercial differentiator and business driver for their operations too.”

The recent acquisition of SolarEdge e-Mobility further strengthens Nivalis Energy Europe’s ability to scale and accelerate innovation across Europe, combining deep electrification expertise with expanded manufacturing and engineering capabilities.

The Next-Generation Platform

The new next-generation platform has been developed following two years of operational deployment experience gained through early commercial projects across Europe. This included the company’s first Powered Trailer originally developed for LC3 Trasporti and unveiled at Transpotec-Logitec 2024.

According to Nivalis, the fully electric refrigerated trailer has continued operating successfully in real-world logistics environments during a period in which diesel prices climbed to approximately €2 per litre – helping demonstrate the substantial operating cost savings and commercial potential of electrified refrigerated transport.

The new next-generation platform integrates rooftop solar PV, high-capacity battery storage and regenerative e-axle technology within a single intelligent energy management architecture. The system captures and redistributes solar and braking energy while helping optimise refrigeration performance, reduce external charging dependency and improve operational autonomy across long-haul refrigerated transport operations.

According to Nivalis, the next-generation platform also introduces improvements in system integration, energy optimisation and operational intelligence designed to support a broader range of refrigerated logistics applications and operating profiles. The new next-generation solution will enter commercial operation immediately following the exhibition – a move Nivalis says reflects growing market confidence in electrified refrigerated transport solutions.

Pavel concludes: “Retailers, brands and logistics operators are increasingly aligned in recognising that the future of refrigerated transport must be cleaner, more efficient and commercially sustainable. With our unique three-source energy architecture, alongside the expanded engineering and manufacturing capabilities created through the SolarEdge e-Mobility acquisition, Nivalis is uniquely positioned to help power the next phase of electrified refrigerated transport across Europe.”
