A week of innovation, learning and thought leadership in Orlando, Florida.

Thermo King was excited to participate in the America Trucking Association’s (ATA) 2023 Technology Maintenance Council (TMC) Annual Meeting and Transportation Technology Exhibition February 27 – March 2 in Orlando, Florida. As North America’s premier technical conference for trucking, the event brings the entire industry together – from manufacturers, suppliers and technical experts, to educators, fleet managers, trucking companies and thought leaders. 

“The transportation industry continues to navigate the change brought by evolving regulations, sustainability goals and new technology,” said Chris Tanaka, Vice President of Product Management for Thermo King Americas. “As a leader in transport refrigeration, Thermo King shared how our company continues to add smart, sustainable temperature-control solutions to our product and service portfolios and how we can help fleets find solutions that align with their sustainability goals, meet regulations and bring value to their overall business.”

An active member of the TMC, Thermo King participated in task force meetings throughout the event. Lead Electrical Engineer Matt Srnec was a presenter in the Sustainability and Environmental Technology meeting where he shared recommendations for developing charging station infrastructure for refrigerated commercial fleet operations. His session included an overview of service shop charging options and key considerations for setting up a refrigerated distribution center.

Visitors to the booth had full access to a variety of product experts and learned about our latest innovations including:
