Krone With Vehicle Variety and New Management at Solutrans

With the Cool Liner, Krone offers a practical solution for the temperature-controlled transport of foodstuffs such as fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and frozen products, as well as plants, sensitive electronic components and sensitive pharmaceutical products. At Solutrans in Lyon, Krone will be showing the Cool Liner with a continuous chassis optimised at the rear, a stable body and comfortable equipment.

The robust Box Liner eLTU70 has been specially designed for the tough daily business with frequently changing container sizes and impresses with its exemplary versatility as well as its low empty weight of 4600 kg in the basic equipment, which in turn enables high payloads.

The trade fair vehicles are equipped with the Krone trailer axle, which has been tried and tested for many years. The Krone trailer axle comes with a six-year warranty with no mileage limitation on the bearing or axle beam.

Krone will also be presenting its comprehensive range of trailer-related services in Lyon, ranging from excellent telematics solutions, which are now also fitted as standard in all refrigerated semi-trailers, to various practical Krone service packages, to flexible rental offers via Krone Fleet and the exemplary Krone spare parts service.

Philippe Lamberet will retire

During Solutrans, not only Philippe Lamberet, long-time Managing Director of Krone France SAS, will retire; at the same time, his successor Jean-Philippe Féjoz will be introduced.

The 54-year-old Jean-Philippe Féjoz has spent most of his professional career at Volvo AB Group for the Renault Trucks subsidiary, most recently as Commercial Director; in this respect he knows all too well about transport issues and current concerns.

Dr. Frank Albers, Krone's Managing Director Sales and Marketing, emphasised: "Over the past seven years, Philippe Lamberet has headed the Krone France team as a highly renowned industry expert, who has made a decisive contribution to the outstanding development of Krone's market share in France. We would like to thank Philippe Lamberet warmly for this. Together with him, we have found an excellent successor in Jean-Philippe Féjoz, who will take care of Krone France's business with immediate effect".
