When you purchase a Thermo King unit, you get industry-leading technology
and performance. But you are also getting much more. Thermo King's
engineering group plays a consultative engineering role with all of North
America's OEMs and transit properties that goes well beyond delivering a

| Wheeling & Dealing |
|
When asked about the success Thermo King Fresno, Calif., had within the bus
market in 2001, Sales Manager Cornie van Beek explained, "We do the little
things right. Through persistence, we stay in front of our customers, offer
great service support and work closely with corporate personnel to keep
customers satisfied." And it's paid off. |

| Making the IntelligAIRE® II Smarter |
|
Less than one year ago, Thermo King introduced the next generation in
microprocessor controllers for bus climate control systems –
IntelligAIRE® II, a system that uses a modular configuration, allowing
the operator to cool, heat and ventilate up to four zones on a
vehicle. |
|
| Who Can Take the Heat? |
|
City buses in China operate 16 hours a day and average 20 to 30 kilometers
per hour with an average bus engine speed of 1200 rpm. Thanks to the world's
largest population, buses in China stop every five minutes with passengers
boarding in the front door while others exit from the middle door. These
frequent door openings mean a lot of outdoor air is entering into the bus
compartment. |

| Tightening Your Belts |
|
Belt tension directly affects the life of the pulley and clutch. That's why
you should check the belt tension as part of every preventative maintenance
inspection. |
