Cargobull Reefer Units Now Feature High-Efficiency Microchannel Condenser
Article content CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif. — Utility Trailer and Cargobull North America are proud to announce the latest upgrade to the ultra-low emission transport refrigeration units (TRUs) – a newly designed TRU with microchannel condenser and radiator and is now available on all new units. Article content The advanced microchannel condenser and radiator are set to significantly enhance efficiency, increase output, and elevate the overall performance of the 625 and 655MT Hybrid Transport Refrigeration Units (TRU). These units already comply with the stringent 2030 emissions standards and will now feature the microchannel condenser as a standard component. Article content Article content Thanks to its compact and lightweight design, the condenser integrates more easily into the TRUs, improving airflow and system layout and simplifying maintenance. By reducing the refrigerant charge by three pounds (1.3kg), the microchannel condenser supports sustainability while also cutting both upfront and replacement costs. Article content Despite its smaller size, it delivers superior heat transfer performance, boosting the already impressive cooling capacity. Combined with Cargobull's variable-speed engine control, the system ensures consistent and optimal thermal performance. Article content 'The microchannel condenser boosts thermal efficiency, ensuring our 3000R refrigerated trailers maintain peak cooling performance even in high ambient temperatures,' said Steve Bennett, President & COO for Utility Trailer. 'Its ability to perform reliably in extreme conditions is essential for continuous refrigeration.'

These advanced units come standard with integrated hybrid shore power and are exclusively available on Utility Trailer 3000R refrigerated trailers. As a new added option, the Cargobull 620 Hybrid (Single-Temp) TRU delivers strong energy efficiency but does not fully meet ULETRU certification criteria. However, embedded shore power can be added as an optional feature.

Voice opinion on proposed blue cod limit, angler says
Keen angler Steve Bennett asks anyone who recreationally fishes to let their voice be heard in regard to proposed changes to the blue cod limits allowed per person. PHOTO: GREGOR RICHARDSON A Dunedin angler unhappy with proposed cuts to the blue cod catch limit for recreational fishers is asking everyone to have their say on the matter before it is too late. Keen angler Steve Bennett said it was only a few years ago that the limit was 30, and dropping the blue cod limit from 15 to 10 would make the reward of fishing not worth the cost of heading out. "I can't see the rationale for dropping it from 15 to 10 — I think that the blue cod fishery is in pretty good state at the moment and has been for a while." If the limit was reduced, it would be hard for people going out in a boat fishing to justify the fuel costs. He said Mother Nature had her own protection methods in place. "Our coastline is reasonably weather protected and there's a lot of days where, even if you could go out, you can't because of the sea conditions." Mr Bennett encouraged all fishers to have their say — whether that be for or against the proposed changes. "Too many consultation processes go through and people don't actually know about it until after it's happened. "If people are interested, then they need to put their names on a piece of paper and have their say — this has the potential to impact a lot on recreational fishers." Fisheries New Zealand director of fisheries management Emma Taylor said changes to catch limits were in store for the next fisheries sustainability review this October. The review included proposed changes for three blue cod stocks, snapper on the West Coast and blue mackerel on the west coast of the North Island. "Proposed cuts to commercial catch for two blue cod stocks are in response to latest abundance estimates, while the third had a commercial catch limit cut last year. "Recreational daily catch limits are proposed to be reduced for all three fisheries, in line with the settings in place under the National Blue Cod Strategy," she said. The review said blue cod stock in the Foveaux Strait was significantly overfished. Public consultation began on June 24 and closes on July 23.

RSPCA recruiting two animal rescue officers in South Wales
Among the vacancies are two roles based in South Wales. The charity is seeking 'multi-skilled' officers who can respond to challenging situations while also contributing to its evolving mission. Steve Bennett, chief inspectorate officer at the RSPCA, said: "It's a fantastic job with different, stimulating challenges every day for people with a passion for animals and their welfare. "There is lots of scope for promotion and career progression and these new recruits will have the opportunity to go right to the top. "They will also have the chance to branch out in different directions and specialise in diverse animal work, be it with dogs, cats, equines, exotics and much more." The RSPCA is looking for applicants who combine empathy with resilience and a strong commitment to animal welfare. Applicants must be aged 18 or over by the start of the course, hold a full manual driving licence, and have a GCSE-level 2 qualification in English. A four-month training course will begin in April 2026. Applicants must live within specified postcodes for the role they are applying to, as the charity cannot cover relocation costs. More information is available on the RSPCA website.
