Cooling unit: the most important inspection point
The cooling unit determines whether a used refrigerated van is worth its money. Pay attention to the brand and type (for example Carrier or Thermo King), the temperature range and whether the unit is engine-driven or has a separate stand-by/electric connection for use while stationary at the loading dock. Always ask about the running hours of the cooling motor, not just the mileage of the chassis: a unit with many running hours is more likely to need maintenance or replacement soon. For mixed fresh and frozen transport, a multi-temperature van with separate compartments is often more efficient than two separate vehicles.
Insulation, load floor and ATP certificate
The insulation value of the walls determines how stable the temperature stays when the doors are open and how hard the cooling motor has to work. Check the load floor for cracks, damp patches, and whether it can be cleaned hygienically, especially important for meat transport. If you transport perishable goods over long distances or internationally, the van needs a valid ATP certificate; this is stated on a metal plate in the cargo area and has an expiry date. Without a valid ATP certification you may not transport across borders with a temperature guarantee.
Van or box truck: which driving licence and size suits you
A refrigerated van on a van chassis (up to 3.500 kg) can be driven with a standard driving licence B and is agile enough for inner-city delivery rounds for hospitality and retail. If you need more load volume or capacity, you'll quickly move up to a refrigerated box truck from just over 3.500 kg, for which driving licence C or C1 is required, depending on the weight. Determine your daily route pattern and load weight first before choosing: a van that's too large costs unnecessary fuel and tolls, one that's too small forces you into extra trips.
Buying or financial lease: what suits your business
Buying outright gives you immediate ownership and no monthly costs, but it does immediately tie up your working capital. Financial lease keeps your cash flow free: at Tatev Auto, financing up to 100% is possible with a term of up to 72 months, even for start-ups or sole traders without a long business history. Because you become the economic owner under financial lease, you can depreciate the refrigerated van for tax purposes, while trading in your current vehicle further reduces the purchase price or lease instalment. Ask in advance whether maintenance and any cooling unit repairs are included in the lease or need to be budgeted separately.

What is the difference between a refrigerated van and a freezer van?
A refrigerated van typically maintains a temperature between 0 and +8 degrees, suitable for fresh products. A freezer van cools down to well below zero, often -18 degrees or lower, for frozen transport. Some used vans combine both with an adjustable or multi-temperature unit.
Which driving licence do I need for a refrigerated van?
For a refrigerated van based on a van chassis up to 3.500 kg, driving licence B is sufficient. For a refrigerated box truck above that weight, you'll need driving licence C or C1, depending on the exact load capacity of the van.
How much does a used refrigerated van cost at Tatev Auto?
Tatev Auto currently has 16 inspected used refrigerated vans, with prices starting from € 10.900 excl. VAT. The exact price depends on brand, load capacity, age and the type of cooling unit.
Can I also lease a refrigerated van instead of buying?
Yes, Tatev Auto offers financial lease up to 100% of the purchase value, with a term of up to 72 months. This is also possible for start-ups and sole traders, and you can trade in your current vehicle.
What should I look out for with a used refrigerated van?
Check the running hours and maintenance history of the cooling motor, the condition of the insulation and load floor, and whether a valid ATP certificate is present for perishable goods. Every refrigerated van at Tatev Auto is APK (MOT/TÜV) approved and delivered ready to drive.
Is a used refrigerated van suitable for international transport?
Only if the van has a valid ATP certificate; this certification is mandatory for cross-border transport of perishable goods under temperature guarantee. Always ask for this certificate before buying.
