What should you look out for with the cooling unit?
The cooling unit is the most important component of a refrigerated van and deserves extra attention when buying. Look at the type of cooling: an engine-driven compressor only works when the engine is running, while an electric unit with its own battery or plug can also cool while stationary. Check the operating hours of the cooling unit separately from the mileage, ask about maintenance history, and pay attention to temperature logging if you're transporting food or medicines. An ATP certificate is mandatory for commercial transport of perishable goods over longer distances and demonstrates that the insulation meets requirements.
Compact van or larger refrigerated box truck?
A refrigerated van in the van segment is more compact and manoeuvrable than a refrigerated box truck, ideal for delivery routes in the city, narrow streets and loading at shops with limited unloading space. With a permitted weight of up to 3,500 kg, you can often still drive with a category B licence, which is beneficial for start-ups and smaller transport companies. If you need more loading volume, for example for pallets or larger volumes of meat and dairy, a refrigerated box truck with tail lift is often more practical, although this usually requires a category C licence. So determine your daily volume and destinations first before choosing.
Buying or Financial Lease for your refrigerated van?
When purchasing a refrigerated van, you often have to weigh up buying against Financial Lease. If you buy with cash or your own financing, you become the owner immediately and can fit out and sell the van freely whenever you want. Financial Lease spreads the investment over a fixed term, up to 72 months possible and up to 100% financeable, which keeps cash flow free for business operations. This is particularly attractive for start-ups and self-employed entrepreneurs who haven't yet built up a large buffer. Always ask about the total costs including interest and compare these with the expected lifespan of the cooling unit.
Checklist for a used refrigerated van
In addition to the usual checks such as APK (MOT/TÜV) validity, maintenance booklet and damage history, a refrigerated van deserves a number of extra checks. Smell and look inside the cargo area for damp spots or rust formation, since condensation from the cooling can eventually damage the floor plate. Test the cooling unit for a while and check whether the temperature reaches the set value quickly and stably. Check the door seals for cracks, since a leaking door lets cold escape and increases energy consumption. Finally, ask about the build year of the cooling unit itself, which often has a shorter lifespan than the van underneath it.

Frequently asked questions
Can I finance koelwagen bestelauto kopen?
Yes, financial lease is available for many vehicles. We are happy to make a proposal based on price, term, down payment and any balloon payment.
Can I trade in my current commercial vehicle?
Yes, trade-ins are welcome. Send the registration number, mileage and photos for a quick indication.
Where is Tatev Auto located?
Tatev Auto is located in Mijdrecht, easy to reach from Amsterdam, Utrecht and Schiphol.
What is the difference between a refrigerated truck and a refrigerated van?
A refrigerated van is the compact variant within refrigerated vehicles: a van with an insulated, cooled cargo area up to approximately 3,500 kg. A refrigerated box truck is larger, has more loading volume and often requires a heavier driving licence.
Can I also buy a used van with cooling?
Yes, Tatev Auto continuously has used refrigerated vans in the van segment in stock, currently 131+ vehicles from €10,900 excl. VAT. All units are delivered APK (MOT/TÜV) approved and ready to drive.
Is a refrigerated van also available with a petrol engine?
Most refrigerated vans run on diesel because of the torque and range needed to power the cooling unit. Petrol or electric variants are rare in this segment; availability varies, so contact us for current options.
Which driving licence do I need for a refrigerated van?
With a permitted total weight of up to 3,500 kg, a category B licence is sufficient. Once the refrigerated van becomes heavier, for example due to a larger cooling unit and extra insulation, a category C licence may be required. Always check this on the registration document of the specific van.
Can I lease a refrigerated van instead of buying it?
Yes, Financial Lease is available for up to 100% of the purchase value, with a term of up to 72 months. This is also accessible for start-ups and self-employed entrepreneurs and keeps your cash flow free for day-to-day business operations.
How do I check the condition of the cooling unit when buying?
Ask about the operating hours and maintenance history of the cooling unit, separately from the mileage of the van. Let the cooling run for a while to see whether the set temperature is reached quickly and stably, and check the door seals for wear.
