Axima Réfrigération, a division of Equans France, helps students in schools learn about careers in the refrigeration industry
Axima Réfrigération, a division of Equans France, is launching the first tour of its Energy Truck. This initiative, organized as part of the “Relations Écoles” program, allows students to explore careers in refrigeration and the energy transition through immersive workshops and technical demonstrations. The goal is to raise awareness among young people about current energy challenges and introduce them to practical skills‑right in the heart of their school.
HVAC: How Axima Refrigeration, a division of Equans France, is modernizing the transfer of technical knowledge
The HVAC industry faces a twofold challenge: attracting new talent and fostering a technical culture suited to environmental challenges.
Careers in refrigeration remain largely unknown, despite their essential role in the energy transition.
Schools sometimes lack concrete educational resources to illustrate these careers and inspire students to pursue them.
ARF, a division of Equans France, has therefore developed a mobile initiative capable of reaching out directly to young people, showcasing its expertise, and creating a link between training, innovation, and real-world practice.

The Energy Truck was set up as a fully-fledged mobile educational space. The teams offered technical demonstrations, refrigeration models, and interactive workshops that allowed students to handle, observe, and understand the principles of refrigeration. The presenters guided more than 500 students during their visit, helping them explore the facilities, explaining the skills of the trade, and answering their questions.
This immersive approach transformed a simple presentation into a hands-on, dynamic, and accessible experience, fostering discussion and curiosity. In total, more than 100 employees participated in the 50 events organized over a three-month period throughout France.

Their first event was a resounding success, both in terms of the quality of the discussions and the interest shown by the students. The Energy Truck helps promote careers in refrigeration, brings the challenges of the energy transition to life, and strengthens the bond between Equans France and schools.
As it continues its tour, this initiative will help inspire new career paths, raise awareness of opportunities in the sector, and support young people in their career planning.
