Tier 4 PowerLINE® Genset

Carrier Transicold introduced the EPA Tier 4 compliant generator set option primarily for North America in 2013. To meet the U.S. EPA diesel emissions regulations, Carrier has incorporated the Kubota Tier 4 compliant engine in both the Undermount (UG) and Clip-On (RG) generator sets.

XtendFRESH™ Overview
