A display for a transport unit. The transport unit includes a trailer that defines a space with at least one zone, and a vehicle that is attachable to the trailer. The vehicle has a passenger compartment and a rear view mirror. A sensor is in communication with the transport unit and senses a parameter of the transport unit. The transport unit also includes a housing that is coupled to the trailer, and that has a display with a screen configured to display the parameter. A controller is attached to the trailer and is in communication with the space. The controller is in electrical communication with the sensor and the display, and the controller is programmed to selectively switch the display between a forward view mode and a mirror view mode based on a relationship between the vehicle and the trailer.

Remote status multifunction display for a transport vehicle

A display for a transport unit. The transport unit includes a vehicle, a trailer that defines a space, and a sensor that is in communication with the transport unit and that senses a parameter of the transport unit. The display unit includes a housing that is attachable to the trailer, and a display portion coupled to the housing. The display portion includes a screen configured to display the parameter. A controller is in electrical communication with the display portion to display the parameter on the screen. The controller is programmed to selectively switch the screen between a forward view mode and a mirror view mode such that the parameter is readable on the screen from outside the vehicle and from inside the vehicle based on a relationship between the vehicle and the trailer.
