Wabash Adds Leonard’s Express to New Trailer Test
Wabash National Corp. said the number of fleets committed to testing its new Cold Chain Series refrigerated van trailer made with molded structural composites is now at four with the addition of Leonard’s Express.
Production and field testing for the initial launch trailers will begin in the first quarter of 2017, according to Lafayette, Indiana-based Wabash.
The Farmington, New York-based carrier joins Werner Enterprises, K&B Transportation and Combined Transport, plus dealers Regional International, TEC Equipment and Wick’s Truck Trailers, Wabash said.
“The launch program for our Cold Chain Series composite reefer continues to move forward as planned,” Wabash President Brent Yeagy said in a statement. What the new trailer “means for our customers is improved thermal efficiency, reduced fuel costs, increased payload and cargo capacity, optimized utilization and enhanced durability.”
