In a world where change moves at the speed of technology, and sustainability regulations tighten by the month, the logistics industry faces mounting pressure to be faster, smarter, and greener. For Carrier, this has meant delivering not just high-performance refrigeration equipment, but also powerful digital platforms like Lynx Fleet—a solution designed to transform how fleet operators manage the cold chain.

Just as the transition from landlines to smartphones revolutionized communication, the cold chain is experiencing a similar shift. What was once reactive logistics is now data-driven, proactive, and interconnected. Lynx Fleet is designed to help reduce carbon emissions and prevent food waste by helping to automate workflows to connect people, vehicles, and data across continents and climates.

Lynx Fleet provides OEM-level visibility into refrigerated assets, harnessing Carrier’s deep expertise in transport refrigeration and sustainability to deliver more than just tracking—it delivers insights.

Carrier recognized a gap in the industry: while telematics existed, few solutions fully leveraged deep cold chain data and equipment-level intelligence of which Carrier transport refrigeration units are capable. Enter Lynx Fleet—developed to close that gap.

From fuel consumption and grid charging insights to emissions tracking and diagnostics, Lynx Fleet was designed to address the real-world challenges of fleet managers, drivers, and service partners.

During its early deployment phase, Carrier tested Lynx Fleet extensively, focusing on high-impact metrics:

For seasoned users looking to extract maximum value, consider these advanced applications of Lynx Fleet:

​Behavioral Analytics with Set Point Changes

Lynx Fleet reveals behaviors through abnormal set point changes. For instance, a route consistently changing from 30°F to 50°F may indicate poor practice or misunderstanding.
​

Use this data to:

Tip: Set threshold alerts to flag unusual patterns before they become costly.

Lynx Fleet doesn’t just report issues—it predicts them

By tracking State of Charge (SoC), temperature alarms, and compressor activity, the system helps prevent breakdowns before they happen.

Tip: Pair this with your maintenance schedule and respond to alarms before they escalate into failures.

Grid Charging for Cost & Carbon Savings

Switching from diesel to grid power overnight or during loading can yield major cost savings and emissions reductions.

Tip: Use Lynx Fleet to analyze savings from grid-charged units across your fleet.
​

APIs for Deeper Integration

Lynx Fleet supports API connections, enabling integration into broader TMS, ERP, and customer platforms.

Tip: Automate report generation and alert routing to reduce manual effort and speed up response times.

​The Service Advantage: Global Uptime, Local Support

Telematics data isn't just for fleet managers. Lynx Fleet empowers Carrier’s global service partners to act faster. Instead of being down waiting for diagnostics, partners can access data remotely and dispatch the right part or technician—saving time and protecting cargo.

Tip: Share Lynx data proactively with international partners to smooth cross-border service events.

he Road Ahead: More Than Telematics

Lynx Fleet is more than a tracking tool—it’s a data platform. As Carrier continues to invest, expect expanded capabilities in:

This positions Carrier not just as an equipment manufacturer, but as a data provider and cold chain specialist, arming customers with the insights they need to lead the charge.

Whether you’re a fleet veteran or just starting with telematics, now is the time to take full advantage of Lynx Fleet. Push beyond basic tracking:
