Currently, the intra-city movement of goods in cold chain transportation is carried out primarily through 4-wheeler SCVs having up to 2.5 ton GVW, and 3-wheelers. The desired temperature range for such vehicles is 0 to 4 degree Celsius, with a minimum volumetric capacity (internal) of 100 cu ft for 3-wheelers. The cooling on refrigerated vehicles is done actively through the AC/refrigerator unit, and passively through the thermal insulation material. The segments that require cold chain transportation on a mass scale are those that transport perishable goods such as bakery & confectionery, meats, seafood, and beverages, dairy, FMCG and pharmaceuticals. With the launch of this new retail experience centre, Altigreen aims to cater to the segment of goods transportation that require cold chain logistics. The business team is working on integrating a refrigerated container on neEV 3-wheeler on a pilot basis.
As per Sundeep Kumar Bafna, MD, Fortpoint Automotive Private Limited, they are extremely excited to do their bit in helping businesses in Maharashtra transition to electric mobility. He adds that the company is aligned to the recent e-mobility trends and already sees a massive potential driven by the nation’s agenda of electrification. Fortpoint Automotive Private Limited is proud to partner with Altigreen in Mumbai and support them in their mission of accelerating carbon-free transport while making it accessible and affordable.
