Ecooltec appoints Klaas Kliffen to expand Benelux distribution network

Ecooltec recently added Klaas Kliffen as sales director Benelux. He is responsible for regional sales, setting up the service network, and supporting body builders. Ecooltec, which produces electrically powered transport refrigeration systems for heavy-duty commercial vehicles, sees growth potential in Benelux due to the rise in zero-emission zones and the increasing demand for emission-free trucks.

Ecooltec systems are fully electric and use climate-friendly natural refrigerants such as propane and CO2, avoiding F-gases with a high global warming potential. The units are designed to be reliable for demanding distribution operations and compatible with electric trucks, meeting environmental, climate, and health protection standards.

“We are delighted that Klaas Kliffen is strengthening Ecooltec’s sales team in Benelux. His responsibilities will also include establishing a service network and supporting body builders in the region,” Henning Altebäumer, CEO of Ecooltec, said. “The Benelux market offers Ecooltec an enormous growth potential. More than half of all refrigerated vehicles there are used in food distribution and have multi-temperature box bodies. Our economically efficient and powerful transport refrigeration units are particularly well-suited for this demanding application and ideal for a combination with electric trucks.”
