Climate-Controlled Livestock Truck

An innovative solution to a problem

At Hunland, we believe that responsible livestock transport starts with creating the right conditions for the animals throughout their journey.

To respond to the ever chaning climate changes we’ve come up with an innovative solution.

We’ve built a climate-controlled livestock trailer that represents another step forward in our commitment to animal welfare, combining advanced transport technology with decades of hands-on experience in international livestock logistics.

Why climate control matters

Changing weather conditions, temperature fluctuations and long-distance journeys can all affect animal comfort and welfare. The temperature is also regulated by the authorities where according to 1/2005 EU regulation, animals should be transported between 0-35 °C. Therefore maintaining suitable air conditions inside a livestock trailer is therefore essential.

By investing in climate-controlled transport solutions, we aim to reduce the impact of external conditions and take another step towards more responsible livestock logistics.

Our approach is simple: better control over the transport environment means better conditions for the animals.

Model 1 and Model 2

Our two prototypes are repurposed livestock trailers in order to validate our ideas and test and trial our approach. As a consequence the trailers design meant restrictions and technical challenges that we had to solve.

On EuroTier you can visit Model 2 between Hall 11 and Hall 15 live. 

Truck Features

• Climate management: Designed to help maintain suitable internal temperature under changing external conditions. The trailer can guarantee Δ20°C when external temperature is compared to the internal temperature.
• Heating and cooling: Extreme conditions mean heatwaves during the summer and extreme cold winter days. The truck is capable for heating and cooling as weather conditions require.
• Intelligent Airflow Management: Airflow and ventilation is controlled automatically in order to have the right air conditions during transport.
• Gas Level Monitoring: Humidity, CO, CO2, NH3 and CH4 are all monitored so that the right levels are maintained at all time.
