摩根卡车车身庆祝其70周年，在 2022年工作卡车周展示电动卡车冷藏概念车身
宾夕法尼亚州摩根敦 – 2022年3月9日 – 摩根卡车车身在 2022年3月8日至11日印第安纳波利斯的工作卡车周（展位#4949）期间，发布了其最新的车身创新，推出了一款电动冷藏概念卡车车身。
摩根卡车车身销售与市场副总裁汤姆·迪兹表示：“摩根正处于客户向电气化冷藏车队过渡的前沿。”“我们一直与原厂、客户和终端用户合作，推动今天发布的电动卡车车身的创新。”
该卡车安装在Lion Electric Lion6底盘上，采用Thermo King全电动冷藏单元，24英尺车身采用先进材料，旨在最大化热效率并减轻负载，并配备完整的态势感知传感器。摩根卡车车身是北美领先的轻型和中型卡车车身制造商，这些车身兼容全电动动力系统和冷藏设备。该冷藏设备与狮子电动车辆系统无缝集成，由车载电池供电，采用狮子专有的电池热管理系统以最大化效率。
摩根的电动车冷藏车身采用铝挤压副车架，显著减轻重量，并采用复合材料面板，减轻重量且不影响结构完整性。卡车车身设计以提升空气动力学性能，采用驾驶室整流罩、侧裙板和轮罩，减少阻力，提升能源效率并最大化运输续航。
先进的节能功能包括高速侧帘门，提升热效率、食品链安全，并通过保持恒定的冷藏车内部温度和湿度屏障实现显著节能。内墙采用三英寸高的节热聚氨酯泡沫保温，以最大化节能效果。
狮子电气首席商务官Brian Piern表示：“作为电气化轻型和中型运输领域的领先卡车车身制造商，Lion Electric非常珍惜与Morgan Truck Body合作，开发我们Lion卡车的新应用。”“我们共同推出专为终端用户以及对温度敏感的商业车队量身定制的独特功能，让他们有机会体验电动卡车带来的诸多好处。”
摩根概念车所用的全电动运输制冷装置（TRU）是Thermo King最近推出的e1000机组。e1000将满足大型卡车运营商的制冷需求，同时享受电气化带来的零排放优势。作为Thermo King的Evolve™产品线的一部分，e1000机组将为客户提供可持续的解决方案，提升可靠性、更轻的重量和更低的噪音。
