Utility vehicle for the transport of temperature-managed goods and method for operating a refrigerating machine intended for use in such a commercial vehicle

The invention relates to a commercial vehicle for the transport of temperature-controlled cargo. The commercial vehicle has a body (8) which surrounds a cargo hold (16) accommodating the cargo to be transported, a refrigeration unit (17) which delivers tempered air into the cargo hold (16) and a control device (19) which controls the refrigeration unit (17), and a central data processing device (21) which captures, processes or stores operating parameters of the commercial vehicle (2). According to the invention, the control device (19) of the refrigeration unit (17) is connected to the data processing device (21) of the commercial vehicle (2) via a data link (30) for the transmission of data, and the control device (19) controls the refrigeration unit (17) as a function of data which the data processing device (21) makes available to the control device (19) via the data link (30), whereby an optimized control of the refrigeration unit is achieved in a simple manner.
