Chereau is set to give a UK and Ireland debut to its SmartOpen-C rear door system at the Commercial Vehicle Show, at the NEC in Birmingham, April 26-28.
SmartOpen-C is a new patented electric rear door system meeting the needs of the controlled temperature distribution business. Protected by multiple patents, SmartOpen-C opens above the roof and not inside the bodywork:
Free choice of all partition configurations,
The possibility of including an AirShutter-C curtain or any other equipment inside the body,
A loading area completely unencumbered for merchandise and increased hygiene as the door opens outwards,
Open/close with a single press in less than 10 seconds,
Gain of 6 cm in opening width allowing slewing of palettes,
Anti-pinch system and anti-trapping device,
Longer trips thanks to ideal maintenance of refrigeration,
Better reliability of the electric motor and reduced maintenance,
Aerodynamic design limiting dirt and fuel consumption,
Noise level compliant with the PieK standard.
Other big show news from Chereau, the Normandy, France-based manufacturer of controlled-temperature trailers and bodywork, centres on the clinching of a takeover deal by a private equity firm based in Barcelona, Spain.
GP Miura took control of SOR Ibérica, a leading Spanish manufacturer of refrigerated trailers, last November.
Now Miura has bought Chereau as well and plans to merge the two trailer-makers into an entity called the Reefer Group.
Both Chereau and SOR Ibérica brand names and separate manufacturing sites in Spain and France will be maintained.
