What are the Future Trends of Refrigerated Couriers?

Refrigerated couriers, commonly termed “cold couriers,” have come a long way since their inception way back in the 1800s. In the current context, refrigerated couriers play a revolutionary role in taking the concept of courier service to a different level.

The efficacy of refrigerated courier has been profoundly proven during the recent COVID-19-driven pandemic, for transportation of the vaccines to every nook and cranny of the world. Australia has not been an exception. Every big city in Australia has seen the emergence of these service providers. The story of Brisbane is no different.

However, let us look towards the future and take a sneak peek at the future trends of refrigerated couriers.

  • Improved Version of GPS Tracking

GPS tracking is not a new technology, and it has been widely used in pre-cooling for ages. Now the GPS technology is set to go to the next level, wherein, the technology is linked with the temperature monitoring technology to constantly monitor and control the refrigerated trucks and their real-time temperature at any given point in time. This state-of-the-art, real-time cargo monitoring mechanism would include wireless temperature sensors and data loggers, along with other supplementary devices to complete the monitoring system.

This next generation monitoring system, which the reefer vans and trucks are already fitted with, will come in handy while delivering high-value refrigerated products like medicines, vaccines, injections, and the like. So one big advantage of hiring top quality, reputable Brisbane refrigerated couriers is that these companies have access to these cutting edge technologies.

  • All Electrically Powered Refrigeration System

Commercial transportation is a high-end and high-cost process, and when it comes to commercial refrigerated transportation, the stakes are even higher. It encompasses the cost of initial equipment, the cost of installation of equipment like relays, fans, controllers, sensors, etc., and the operating costs. It was estimated that reefer trucks generally consume one-fourth more fuel than their non refrigerated counterparts. This is where the all-electric refrigerated system will make a difference. This all-new technology will eliminate all those environmental operational costs as well as the environmental effects caused by those old-style reefer trucks.

These low-emission refrigerated vans and trucks will have a lesser environmental impact and will help maintain a much greener cold chain. For long-haul transports, these all-electrically powered reefer vans would offer greater efficiency. That is because this advanced eclectic compressor technology will enable the entire mechanism to run and operate at an optimum speed. This will result in a better and more sustainable cooling capacity.

  • Solar-Powered Reefer Vans

As of late, refrigerated couriers have put more emphasis on solar powered reefer vans. At present, the reefer vans are diesel-powered and, hence, consume a lot of energy as well as maintenance. Besides, these vans also result in environmental pollution through greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the noise level that the engine emits.

This is where the solar powered trucks will make the difference. They are the emerging trend in cold chain management. The on board solar system of these trucks will provide extra energy without any impact on the environment whatsoever. Thus, these solar powered reefer vans are the gateway to green cold chain management.
