Transport under controlled temperature is a major logistical challenge, especially for companies that need to ship large volumes of food, pharmaceutical, or temperature-sensitive products. How can we optimize mass transport while ensuring profitability, speed, and safety?

Thanks to innovative solutions like Olivo’s insulated containers, it is possible to combine economic performance with strict cold chain compliance. Here are the keys to efficient and secure mass cold transport.

Maximize the economic and logistical efficiency of temperature-controlled transport

When smartly planned, the transport of thermosensitive products in large volumes becomes a real economic asset for the company.

How to reduce costs?

  • Optimize filling rate: Unused space is a lost opportunity. A good arrangement of products in insulated containers improves delivery profitability.
  • Reduce energy consumption: Unlike refrigeration units, insulated containers with passive cooling (eutectic plates) do not require extra energy during transport.
  • Prevent logistics losses: Any temperature deviation can damage goods and lead to regulatory sanctions. By using reliable, certified thermal solutions, these risks are significantly reduced.

→ Our insulated containers are designed to maintain a stable temperature over long periods, without the energy costs of refrigerated transport.

Adapt transport to logistical constraints

In the mass transport sector, adaptability is key to meet market demands.

How to be more responsive?

  • Container modularity: Insulated containers allow flexible volume distribution and reduce reliance on refrigerated trucks, thus lowering costs and simplifying logistics.
  • Easier shared transport: The autonomous cold in the containers allows optimization of logistic flows, especially in multi-temperature mode (frozen, chilled, ambient in the same vehicle).
  • Reduced loading and unloading times: With adapted insulated solutions, handling is faster, reducing temperature losses and improving delivery efficiency.

Ensure strict temperature control throughout the transport

Complying with temperature regulations is an absolute requirement in transporting sensitive products.

How to ensure maximum safety?

  • Use equipment that meets standards: All containers and insulated solutions must comply with current regulations (ATP, EN 12546-2, HACCP).
  • Monitor temperature in real time: Installing sensors and temperature recorders ensures full traceability and anticipates any issues.
  • Minimize transshipment risks: Secure transport means limiting handling to avoid thermal shocks and preserve product integrity.

Why choose Olivo for high-performance mass cold transport?

With Olivo insulated containers, you benefit from more economical transport, modular logistics organization, and a high level of safety for your sensitive goods.

  • Profitability: Lower energy consumption, optimized loading.
  • Responsiveness: Simplified logistics, better volume adaptation.
  • Safety: Stable temperature, compliant with sanitary standards.

Explore our tailor-made insulated solutions and switch now to more efficient, reliable, and cost-effective mass cold transport.
