Each and every day, consumers and customers
all around the world are dealing with the dilemma of choices, and to make
things even more complicated,
these choices are to be provided with the best
quality services. To make sure that these choices are offered to our customers
all around the world, we need to come up with better and more technologically
advanced transportation methods so that perishable goods such as fruits and
vegetables are globally accessible, which can be achieved by continuously
working upon our perishable cargo transportation
methods.
Efforts are being made to make our
transportation system technologically advanced to such an extent that the
perishable goods that are transported remain as fresh as possible for a long
period of time. If we become successful at this, then millions of people around
the world will not have to suffer from hunger or poverty, they too would get a
chance to enrich their diet with fruits, vegetables, dairy products, etc.
The aim is to expand such services cross
borders to create opportunities for farmers, exporters and the transportation
and logistics services providers as well. They are the ones who help us in
moving the goods around. For a better understanding, let us first know what a
perishable good is. It is basically any product whose quality can be
deteriorated quickly because of its physiological characteristics and they are
more likely to suffer severe and irreparable damages during transportation,
especially if the temperature is not kept in line with their requirements.
Therefore, there is a need to handle these goods with utmost caution in order
to preserve them and use them for a longer period of time. We need to make sure
that they are in excellent condition when they are being delivered to the
customers.
There is a maximum chance of the losses
occurring during the time period of post-harvest
and product distribution. If any damage occurs during this time, the final
product gets affected, which further creates major losses for the business. In an attempt to not let the above-mentioned things occur,
a different type of vehicles is provided
for transporting perishable goods at controlled temperatures:-
Isothermal vehicles:- It has isolating walls, floor, roof and doors that
restrict the exchange of heat between the exterior and interior of the vehicle.
Refrigerated
vehicles:- It is a non-mechanical
source that helps in the reduction of the temperature inside the vehicle to maintain
an average temperature outside.
Freezer vehicles:- This reduces the interior temperature to maintain a
consistent temperature outside, which ranges from -12 degree Celsius to -20
degree Celsius.
