Refrigerated transport ensures that these temperature-sensitive goods are transported efficiently, safely, and hygienically and do not pose a danger to the end user. Refrigerated vehicles are a critical part of the cold chain operations and are utilized by logistics operators for short as well as long haul transportation.”
