What brands of 4.2-meter refrigerated trucks can be purchased?

You can purchase brands such as JAC, Dongfeng, Foton, Isuzu, JMC, and Dayun. Below are precautions for using refrigerated trucks: Before loading: Pre-cooling or pre-heating for approximately 1.5 hours is necessary. Since the vehicle is parked outdoors, the temperature inside the truck is usually influenced by the external environment. The ambient temperature of the truck can affect the transportation temperature of the goods, potentially altering their quality. Therefore, the truck must be pre-cooled to the required temperature before loading. When using the refrigerated truck: Keep the compartment floor clean. Due to the operation of the evaporator fan, air circulates inside the truck, which can cause debris or dirt on the floor to be drawn into the evaporator fan. Over time, a significant amount of impurities may accumulate in the evaporator coils, affecting the cooling efficiency of the refrigeration unit.
I've been driving refrigerated trucks for over a decade. For 4.2-meter vehicles, I personally think Foton Aoling is quite worth considering. It has excellent cooling performance and rarely breaks down, especially maintaining stable insulation during long-distance hauls. Secondly, JMC light trucks are also good - durable engines with low fuel consumption, easy to drive, and with numerous service outlets making repairs convenient when needed. Dongfeng Captain is another option, affordable and suitable for small business startups, though its interior space layout isn't very rational which may limit cargo capacity. Remember to test drive before purchasing and check the refrigeration unit brand (like Thermo King or Carrier) - only well-matched systems are reliable. Don't just focus on price; after-sales service and warranty are particularly important. Having used all these brands myself, delivering goods 200km daily on average with no major issues, I find Foton the most worry-free option.
