A thermal lining panel 40 comprises a planar substrate material 50 adhered to a layer of thermally insulating material. A surface of the insulating material comprises one or more channels 42A, 44A, 46A of a depth less than the thickness of the panel. The panel is provided with one or more apertures 54, 56 though the planar substrate that open into the channel(s) and provide a means through which air flowing within the channel can escape. The panel can be used for lining a cargo carrying cavity (3, fig 1) of a vehicle and comprises a floor (10), sidewalls (6, 8), end or bulkhead and roof (4) panel. The channels may be connected to an air conditioning unit of the vehicle and channels of adjacent panels may be in fluid communication (fig 6). The channels may covered with a cover (70, fig 4A) and a fan and / or suction device (68, fig 5) in the roof panel may create a pressure drop thereby causing air recirculation with the cavity. The apertures may comprise louvres. The thermal lining provides improvements in air distribution and temperature control.
