My Trip in Dongfeng KL Truck with Bergstrom Parking Cooler

May 21,2018

An old Dongfeng KL truck with expensive configuration, a driver with 30 years’ driving experience, a fixed route, what’s the story behind this combination? As a truck website editor, I went onboard this truck and had a novel experience.

The owner driver with 30 years’ driving experience


Liu Shuangshan (ID:ak787)


Liu Shuangshan(ID in “360che.com”: ak787), is from Taian town, Shandong Province. He started to learn driving at 17 years old. He has been a driver for 30 years.


Now he is 47 years old.  Usually drivers at this age are very conservative. To my surprise, he is quite ahead of his peers and loves cutting-edge technology. You can find advanced configurations on his truck, such as WBS, BPW airbag suspension system, Bergstrom parking cooler, portable refrigerator, RVC, TPMS, etc.

As the 1st generation product of Dongfeng KL, the tractor was bought in 2006, which was quite fancy at that time. Now the truck has been on the road for 12 years. But its configuration is not outdated at all.



Since last year, Mr. Liu has got morebusiness. Each month he drives 8 ~ 10 round trips between Ji’nan city and Hefeicity. He has to spend more time on the truck, including sleeping on the truck.So he bought Bergstrom parking cooler last year.


Mr. Liu praised the installation and maintenance services from Bergstrom. Although the poor contact happened during use, Bergstrom not only changed the control panel, help clean the outdoor unit and change the fan, but also promised another year of complimentary warranty to him.

“It’s quite normal for any machines with malfunctions, as long as it can be solved. I’ll not tangle with any minor problems. Bergstrom provides us with satisfying products and services. Dongfeng KL truck is very good. I prefer these brands if I buy a new truck in the future.” Mr. Liu said.

Driver’s life on the road is hard. Parking cooler and refrigerator bring great relief


The trip started from Shandong. With a full round of Loading, shipping and unloading, it takes 48 hours and covers 1400kms. During the trip, I was impressed by Mr. Liu’s charisma. I experienced all the hardship on the road, as well as the convenience and comfort in the cab thanks to the advanced configurations.


Bergstrom PK2000 has been used for more than 1 year. “It is worthwhile to install this parking cooler. I don’t have to suffer from the heat anymore.” Mr. Liu said.

It was 5a.m.when we arrived in Anhui. The outdoor temperature was around 30℃(86℉). We turned on PK2000 and took a rest in the cab to wait for the customer’s factory to start work. The 2 hours’ sleep was comfortable without any big noise from the air-conditioner. The air temperature was 25℃(77℉) in auto mode.


We use PK2000 during the truck’s loading, unloading and the waiting time. Bergstrom parking cooler can keep working for 4 hours. It fully guarantees our rest demand. “If it’s very hot outside, PK2000 can work more than 3 hours.” Mr. Liu explained.


Besides the Bergstrom PK2000, Mr. Liu installed a 50L portable refrigerator in the middle of the cab. It’s very awesome to have cool drinks in the hot days!
