Abstract

This paper analyses the current transportation requirements and product quality assurance in the cold chain logistics industry. It proposes the idea of drop-and-pull transportation, based on one vehicle with multi-temperature control, namely the standard cold-container system. It further elaborates on the advantages of the standard cold-container system, which improves transportation efficiency, while greatly cutting down costs at the same time.
