Carrier Transicold supports TITAN Containers’ Low-GWP refrigerant transition with OptimaLINE and NaturaLINE refrigeration units

Mar 10, 2026

Carrier Transicold has secured an order from TITAN Containers in the Netherlands for OptimaLINE™ units with ready-to-use low-global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant R-1234yf, alongside NaturaLINE® units that use carbon dioxide (CO₂) as refrigerant. Carrier Transicold is part of Carrier Global Corporation, global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions.

The order reflects Carrier Transicold’s commitment to delivering sustainable refrigeration solutions that meet customer expectations, while supporting the industry’s transition toward lower‑GWP technologies, with TITAN Containers among the early adopters of OptimaLINE systems using a triple‑refrigerant-ready refrigeration system.

As the container shipping industry accelerates its transition toward lower-GWP refrigerants and compliance with EU F-Gas regulations, Carrier Transicold’s triple-refrigerant capable OptimaLINE units offer flexibility by supporting non-fluorinated refrigerant R-1234yf. The units will be delivered fully charged from Carrier Transicold’s Singapore manufacturing facility. This eliminates on-site charging, accelerates commissioning and lowers total installation effort, enabling customers to deploy faster with confidence, while meeting ISO and A2L refrigerant requirements.

Complementing the OptimaLINE units, NaturaLINE uses R-744, also known as CO₂, a natural refrigerant with a GWP of 1. These units add to TITAN Containers’ growing fleet of environmentally responsible refrigerated containers.

“As regulatory requirements tighten and the industry moves toward more sustainable refrigeration solutions, it is important for us to transition our fleet accordingly,” said Lukas Bentsson, Chief Operations Officer, TITAN Containers. “Adopting low-GWP refrigerants allows us to reduce our environmental footprint while continuing to provide reliable, high-performance solutions for our customers.”

In addition, Carrier Transicold is supporting TITAN Containers’ transition through dedicated technical training delivered to its teams across multiple countries. The training covers the safe operation and maintenance of OptimaLINE units charged with R‑1234yf, as well as NaturaLINE systems using CO₂. By strengthening in‑house capabilities, Carrier Transicold is helping TITAN Containers ensure consistent performance, safety and regulatory compliance throughout the lifecycle of its low‑GWP refrigeration assets.

“Our role goes beyond delivering refrigeration units and includes supporting customers throughout the lifecycle of their equipment,” said Kay Henze, Account Manager, Global Container, Carrier Transicold. “By working closely with TITAN Containers and delivering targeted service training for R-1234yf, we are helping their teams build the capabilities needed to operate these systems efficiently and safely across different markets.”
