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.enArticle is published in an open access journal.Cold chain logisticsStandardised cold containerCold-container systemVehicleMulti-temperature controlProduct qualityDrop-and-pull transportationTransportation efficiencyCostsArticle
