Hyundai Translead Unveils Juneau, a New Refrigerated Truck Body

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Hyundai Translead unveiled the Juneau refrigerated truck body. With planned general availability in 2027, this solution is engineered to deliver enhanced thermal performance, optimized cargo capacity, and simplified logistics through a flexible kit-delivery design.

Designed to meet the evolving demands of temperature-controlled logistics, Juneau offers a customizable approach to deliver reliable performance. Juneau is constructed with high-quality structural components and corrosion-resistant materials to support consistent performance across demanding operating environments. Standard features include a dedicated over cab maintenance platform, integrated steps, and strategically placed in-set grab handles that provide reliable accessibility for daily operations.

Like the Anza dry truck body released last year, Juneau is designed for kit delivery, allowing ease of distribution and on-site assembly. This approach helps reduce shipping costs, streamline logistics, and improve lead time flexibility while maintaining Hyundai Translead’s standards of reliability and quality.

Juneau supports a wide range of configurable options, including side doors, walk ramps, side platforms, and liftgate compatibility. Its modular design, including universal compatibility with refrigeration units, allows fleets and upfitters to configure the body to specific cargo and loading requirements.

When fully commercialized, Juneau will be available with industry proven polyurethane foam insulation as a standard offering. Hyundai Translead’s new advanced insulation system, HT HANA, first shown at TMC in 2025, will also be optionally available. HT HANA enables even higher levels of thermal performance while offering improved interior dimensions and best-in-class serviceability over the life of the system.

“Juneau reflects our commitment to smarter engineering across both dry and refrigerated truck bodies,” said Douglas Coffing, Senior Director of LTL Sales. “By combining conventional and advanced thermal options with a kit‑delivery approach, we’re giving truck body customers greater flexibility and value in their daily operations.”
