1Introduction
The AddVolt systems were developed for the transportation market, avoiding the fuel usage and
reducing noise and CO2 emissions of refrigeration units during goods transportation. This non-
invasive technology has high and positive impacts on the driver's quality of life due to its silent
and emission-free operation. AddVolt enables the reduction of transportation costs while it
contributes to having eco-friendly vehicles on the road.
ADDM/L systems target the Medium-Range vehicles equipped with reefer units with electrical-
standby motor.
During the operation, the AddVolt systems generates a 3-phase / 50Hz grid on-board of the
vehicle, making possible supply the electrical-standby motor, anytime.
Main benefits of the AddVolt systems:
•Enables day and night access to city centers;
•Compatible with all vehicles with refrigeration unit, even as retrofit;
•Perfect match with hybrid, LNG and all-electric trucks;
•Ready for vehicles with start-stop system activated.
This manual was designed for the users of AddVolt units.
It contains all the procedures of the AddVolt units’ daily operation, namely:
•Safety information;
•The different modes of operation;
•Troubleshooting.
AddVolt also shared a preventive maintenance program that must be followed in order to
guarantee the maximum reliability of the unit during its lifetime.
It is highly recommended to use original AddVolt spare parts ensuring the manufacturer’s
quality and reliability standards.
