Diesel Engine

SLXi units use a 4-cylinder, water cooled, direct injection diesel engine. The engine is coupled directly to the compressor on standard units. Belts transmit power to the fans (behind the condenser coil/radiator), water pump, and alternator on all models.

All Thermo King SLXi trailer units built from 2019 shall have engine type TK486VMGS5 installed. This is to confirm compliancy with 2016/1628 EU regulation (or NRMM Stage V). To determine if an engine is NRMM Stage 5 compliant, the engine model shall be stated on the engine serial plate (located on engine behind trailer service doors). See below an example of engine serial plate.
