Plate charging

How Eutectic Technology Works

Cold Car refrigerated bodies use glycol plates with the Italian company's proprietary solution (higher efficiency than the standard factory solution used by competitors). They are electrically charged at the depot using three-phase or single-phase power. During delivery, the eutectic plate refrigeration system releases cold without an engine, without power, without noise.

Construction from CNC-machined polyurethane GRP panels — precision & durability
Glycol plates from galvanised steel or aluminium with excellent corrosion resistance
ATP Certification by CPRVA Turin
Temperatures: -33°C (deep freeze) to +4°C (chilled)
100% compatible with EVs — 0% battery drain
Zero breakdown risk during delivery — the refrigeration system is switched off on the road
Zero thermal shock for the driver — side doors allow delivery without entering the body
CSRD: Scope 1 → Scope 2 conversion (Law 5164/2024)

Applications

Ice cream body (τσέλα) — Deep freeze -33°C, door-to-door without cold chain interruption
Frozen foods — Meat, seafood, ready meals
Dairy & fresh produce — 0°C~+4°C
Urban distribution — No noise from refrigeration unit, ideal for residential areas & night deliveries
Mixed temperature — Distribution bodies with multi-temperature partitions (frozen + chilled in the same vehicle)

Build quality

What makes a Cold Car body different

A Cold Car body is not simply a set of eutectic plates — it is a complete solution where insulation, plates and interior configuration are designed from the outset as a single system.

Painted GRP panels

The GRP panels carry a single-coat acrylic paint finish — the same method used on truck bodywork. The paint seals the polyester pores, preventing the diffusion of the polyurethane blowing agent — the gas responsible for the foam's insulating performance. Without this protection, the gas gradually escapes and thermal performance degrades over the years. Competitors supply panels unpainted. The cost difference exceeds €1,000 per body.

Heavy-duty hardware

Locks, hinges and door hardware are specified for heavy professional use — unlike competitors who reduce cost and weight by fitting mid-grade components.

Proprietary eutectic solution

The Cold Car plate solution is a patented proprietary formula — not the standard industry compound. The result: higher thermal storage capacity and optimum performance across the 8–12 hour urban distribution cycles.

Service life up to 20 years

Cold Car bodies last up to 20 years. On platform cabs under 3.5t, the body can be transferred to a new chassis at end of vehicle life — extending its use through a second or third cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cold Car Eutectic Bodies

Is the Cold Car body factory-built or a plate system fitted to another body?

It is a complete factory-built body by Italian manufacturer Cold Car S.p.A. — insulation, plates and fittings are designed as one system. It is not a plate system installed inside a body made by another manufacturer.

Where can I buy Cold Car in Greece?

Exclusively from Marketos-Talaros EPE — the exclusive Cold Car S.p.A. representative for Greece. It is not available from any other workshop or distributor.

Ice cream body: how many hours does cooling last?

Cold Car bodies are optimised for urban distribution cycles of 8–12 hours. One overnight charge is sufficient for a full delivery day.

Is it compatible with electric vehicles?

Yes — and it is the ideal system for EVs. It charges at the depot and uses none of the vehicle battery during delivery. Zero energy consumption, zero emissions.

What happens if the refrigeration fails during delivery?

With a Cold Car body there is no breakdown risk on the road — the refrigeration system is completely switched off during delivery. There is no engine running. Cooling is provided solely by the charged plates.
