Addvolt bought by Carrier
USA / Portugal – Carrier Transicold of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, announced the acquisition of Porto-based vehicle battery pack manufacturer Addvolt* in order to enhance its electrification capabilities in transport refrigeration. This was after an initial investment in 2022 by the company’s venture capital arm, Carrier Ventures. The company will integrate Addvolt’s battery systems into its refrigeration units and absorb all 60 employees into the Carrier Climate Solutions Transportation segment. It is worth mentioning that Carrier already uses Addvolt’s technology in its Vector eCool electric trailer refrigeration systems.
In a statement, Carrier Transicold said that the integration “will provide advanced electrification technology, integrated power management and power electronics capabilities, connected in real time by its value-added energy management software, as well as innovative engineering talent”.
