SHANGHAI, April 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Thermo King, a strategic brand of Trane Technologies (NYSE: TT), a global climate innovator, has launched flagship LEGEND series with the first Asian-made trailer refrigeration unit production line at its plant in Wujiang, China, set to serve the entire Asia Pacific market.
In line with the company's Future Factory Initiative, new production line boosts LEGEND's supply chain localization by 60%, enhancing delivery speed, stability, and flexibility to drive the cold chain logistics towards a more efficient, intelligent and sustainable future.
"Through technical advancements and collaboration with local suppliers, we've developed the industry-leading '3-in-1' motor technology.", said Helen Ling, vice president of Trane Technologies Asia Pacific, "LEGEND's localized production demonstrates Thermo King's complete capability from independent R&D to mass production."
Building on TK's world-leading trailer platform, LEGEND series combines three core strengths: precise temperature control, intelligent operation, and energy efficiency. Its advanced electrical architecture and independent airflow control technology tailors cooling to cargo types and transit conditions. A specially designed local standby option for Asia Pacific customers can further reduce operational costs and carbon emissions.
Introducing the pioneering electrified integration solution, which combines a motor, permanent magnet generator and active rectifier, it reduces components by 27% compared with the traditional mechanical drive solution, improving the fuel efficiency by 15% with 30% lower maintenance costs and 52% reduced downtime.
The LEGEND series also features an intelligent control system. The standard Tbox telematics system uses smart algorithms to monitor unit performance in real-time, while the IP67-protected multi-language control panel offers real-time fuel consumption data and automated Pretrip check function. This integration of smart algorithms and key components delivers up to 20% fuel efficiency in actual scenario.
Certified for China GB IV emission regulation, the units are currently deployed in long haul refrigerated transport, with accelerated plans to achieve EU Stage V compliance and expand into railway applications.

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital travel platform Agoda reveals that Vietnam is becoming an increasingly popular year-end travel choice for families in the region and beyond. Based on searches made between September and November 2025 for stays during December 2025 and January 2026, Agoda recorded a 30% increase in family travel interest to Vietnam compared with the same period the previous year.
Agoda data shows that Vietnam is attracting more international families than ever this winter holiday season. South Koreans take the lead as the top market interested in traveling to Vietnam in December and January, with families from India, Singapore, Australia, and Malaysia rounding out the top five. Notably, Agoda reported that Indian families showcased the highest growth in travel interest to Vietnam during this period, with a 186% increase in searches. Malaysians also, are expressing strong growth in interest, with a 74% increase in searches, highlighting Vietnam's appeal as a family destination in Southeast Asia and beyond.
Families are choosing Vietnam for its storied culture and cuisine, diverse landscapes, and abundance of family-friendly resorts and attractions.
Phu Quoc Island leads as the most sought-after destination among international family travelers with a 47% increase in searches, popular for its sandy beaches, calm waters, and nature parks ideal for multi-generation vacations. Da Nang follows with 42% growth in travel interest, noted for its beaches, soft adventure activities, and access to Ba Na Hills theme park. Nha Trang comes in third place, remaining a favorite for its long coastline, family-oriented resorts, and island experiences. In fourth place, Ho Chi Minh City appeals with its vibrant food scene, entertainment complexes, and day trips to the Mekong Delta. In the north, Hanoi continues to draw families with its cultural landmarks, museums, and festive atmosphere, rounding out the top five most family-friendly year-end destinations in Vietnam.
Meanwhile, although Vietnamese families traditionally travel less internationally at the end of the year – typically preferring to wait for the Lunar New Year - China is becoming a noticeable exception. Among the top 20 outbound destinations preferred by Vietnamese families during the December-January period, searches for Shanghai increased 58%, while Beijing increased 59%. This shift is supported by the launch of new direct routes between Hanoi and selected Chinese cities earlier this year, making end-of-year overseas trips more accessible than ever.
Vu Ngoc Lam, Country Director at Agoda, said: "It is wonderful to see Vietnam increasingly chosen as an end-of-year holiday destination for families from across Asia and beyond. Agoda's data shows that travelers are recognizing Vietnam's family-friendly appeal, which further strengthen its position on the global travel map. As more families plan their festive-season or year-end getaways, we are delighted to support them through Agoda's simple, intuitive platform and our wide range of stays, flights, and activities."
With over 6 million properties, 130,000 flight routes, and 300,000 activities, all bookable in one seamless itinerary, Agoda helps families plan memorable year-end holidays, whether they choose a peaceful beach break, a cultural city escape, or an international exploration to mark the close of the year.
