T0056 AuO
SMALL STORAGE
56 Litres
The Colddtainer T0056 AuO model is a top-loading portable temperature control with triple-insulated construction and onboard active temperature control for the best iso-thermal performance. It is suited for transporting valuable temperature-sensitive items such as pharmaceuticals and medical supplies as it maintains the precise temperature during shipping.
The T0056 AuO model includes an internal battery for autonomous operation that maintains accurate temperature for 8-10 hours on a single charge. This unit can be easily added to an insulated reefer van and includes an optional HACCP/Bluetooth interface accessory that works with the digital display to download a temperature data log during transport.
Our T0056 AuO model includes an FDN version for transporting frozen items, and an FDH version with a cooling and heating system for safely delivering pharmaceutical and biological products under all environmental conditions.

The Coldtainer T0056 AuO is a 56-litre autonomous container engineered specifically for Electric Vehicle (EV) fleets, multi-stop urban logistics, and zero-infrastructure transit. It is the primary choice for:
Last-Mile EV Delivery Fleets: Companies utilizing electric cars or vans who cannot tap into the vehicle's high-voltage traction battery without voiding warranties or severely destroying driving range.
Cross-Docking & Remote Medical Logistics: Transporting vaccines, insulin, or clinical samples where the container must be left on a loading dock, at a clinic reception desk, or on a tarmac unplugged for hours.
Ghost Kitchens & Couriers: Moving premium catering batches or meal kits via standard passenger vehicles where permanent 12V hardwiring isn't an option.
Its core industry advantage is complete operational flexibility—allowing any vehicle to instantly become a certified refrigerated courier with zero electrical modifications.
Choosing your T0056 AuO comes down to matching your local climate with the unit's specialized internal climate variants:
T0056/FDN AuO (Autonomous Freezing/Cooling): Pulls from its internal battery to actively cool or freeze cargo down to -24°C. If your cargo only ever needs to stay refrigerated or deep-frozen, this is your standard baseline.
T0056/FDH AuO (Autonomous Freezing + Heating): Spans an active range from -24°C to +40°C. You must choose the FDH variant if you operate in harsh winter climates. If your vehicle interior drops below zero, the internal battery will automatically route power to active heating elements, preventing liquid pharmaceuticals or sensitive chilled cargo from freezing.
Managing the T0056 AuO is incredibly simple because it contains an integrated power grid, completely isolating it from the vehicle:
On-Road Runtime: The unit features an onboard 24V, 20Ah Lithium-Ion (LiFePO4) battery. On a single charge, it will maintain precise internal cooling or freezing temperatures for 8 to 10 hours completely unplugged, regardless of whether the vehicle engine is on or off.
Charging Protocol: The unit houses an internal smart battery charger. To charge it, you simply plug the container into a standard 110V–240V AC wall outlet at your depot overnight. It takes approximately 6 to 8 hours to achieve a full charge, during which the unit will simultaneously pre-chill its interior.
Vehicle Interoperability: Because it runs entirely on its own battery, moving it between vehicles requires zero electrical cords. At 36.5 kg (80.5 lbs) empty, it can be loaded into an SUV, van, or electric car, secured via an optional vehicle tie-down kit, and turned on with a single button press.
The T0056 AuO provides bulletproof, audit-ready climate logging that satisfies strict GDP (Good Distribution Practice) and HACCP regulations, even during vehicle engine shutoffs:
Continuous Active Power: Standard containers shut down or switch to passive mode when a driver turns off the vehicle ignition (e.g., during lunch or complex delivery drops). The AuO unit never pauses; its active SECOP BD50F compressor pulls uninterrupted power from the internal lithium battery, keeping temperatures perfectly steady.
Seamless Thermal Structure: Built as a single-piece, rotomolded polyethylene container with 70 mm (2.75 inches) of polyurethane insulation, it possesses an airtight seal with zero cold bridges. An internal fan forces continuous, uniform airflow so that there are no hot or cold zones.
Bluetooth Audit Telemetry: It can be outfitted with an optional HACCP Bluetooth module. Because the unit is always powered, it streams unbroken, real-time temperature data to a mobile app. Fleet managers can download complete, uninterrupted history logs for clients—proving the cold chain was never broken, even when the container was sitting on a loading dock.
