TBV Kühlfahrzeuge

Pioneering the cold chain.

For more than a generation, TBV has developed refrigerated bodies for Europe’s most temperature-critical loads: fresh food, pharma, baked goods, chilled logistics. Refrigerated vehicles. Built in Germany. Trusted across Europe.

How we work. We build refrigerated vehicles for the toughest duty. From consultancy through body construction to maintenance, all from one source. Temperature-controlled, GDP-compliant, serviceable. For fleets that don’t compromise.

Next-generation refrigeration

Engineering tomorrow’s cold chain today.

Refrigerated transport is changing. TBV is engineered for what’s next.

Thermal precision, engineered.

Sandwich construction with PUR core and GRP outer skin: temperature-stable, fast recovery after door opening, fewer compressor cycles.

Multiple temperatures. One vehicle.

Multi-temperature zones with movable bulkheads: frozen, chilled and ambient goods on one route. One vehicle instead of two.

Built for the electric era.

Clean integration with electric platforms like Mercedes-Benz eSprinter and StreetScooter: high-voltage refrigeration interfaces, longer range, full payload.
