contourcool – Integrated Refrigeration System for Refrigerated Vans
contourcool is an integrated refrigeration system for refrigerated vans, where the cooling unit is fully built into the vehicle roof – reducing aerodynamic drag, lowering vehicle height and increasing energy efficiency.
This makes contourcool one of the most efficient solutions for modern refrigerated vans – especially in urban operations and electric fleets.
Refrigeration Reimagined: Integrated Instead of Mounted
With contourcool, novotruck redefines the design of refrigerated vans.
Instead of a conventional, externally mounted refrigeration unit, the system is fully integrated into the vehicle roof – improving aerodynamics, reducing overall vehicle height and maximizing efficiency in everyday operations.
The result: a refrigerated vehicle that excels technically, economically and visually.
The Challenge with Conventional Refrigerated Vehicles
Traditional refrigerated vehicles quickly reach their limits in everyday operations:
- Externally mounted refrigeration units increase aerodynamic drag
- Additional vehicle height limits usability in urban environments
- Inconsistent body designs create a less cohesive fleet appearance
- Higher energy consumption reduces range – especially for electric vehicles
These disadvantages become increasingly critical, particularly in last-mile and inner-city operations.
What is contourcool?
contourcool is a roof-integrated refrigeration system for refrigerated vans that improves aerodynamics, reduces vehicle height and increases efficiency.
The Solution: Integrated Refrigeration System in the Roof
contourcool is an innovative roof solution in which the refrigeration unit is seamlessly integrated into the vehicle’s body contour.
- No externally mounted units
- Closed, aerodynamic roofline
- Compatible with a wide range of refrigeration systems
