Top Viewed Articles

Refrigerated trucks belong to the commercial vehicle industry and are currently mainly used for the transportation of spoiled goods, food, medicines, chemical products, flowers, fruits, cold drinks, vegetables, meat and other items. The main function is to ensure the freshness of the transported items.

At present, refrigerated trucks are classified into insulated trucks, refrigerated trucks, and fresh-keeping trucks. Refrigerated trucks are mainly aimed at large-scale cold-chain logistics enterprises, large-scale food shopping malls and vegetable farms, food, dairy products and cold-drink production enterprises; some enterprises use cold-chain logistics throughout the process to establish a brand image, such as McDonald's; there are also a few individual users who also buy refrigerated trucks .

The annual production of refrigerated and frozen food increases by about 10%, and the market share is relatively larger. The rapidly growing frozen meat products require refrigerated transport. It can be seen that the proportion of cold chain transportation in the total transportation will increase steadily in the future. In the early days, the sales of domestic refrigerated trucks were mainly concentrated in coastal areas such as Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shandong. With the improvement of living quality, cold chain transportation is gradually infiltrating into the central and western regions.

Refrigerated trucks are facing great challenges in the future market. At present, the technology of domestic manufacturers is not mature. On the other hand, the price of refrigerated trucks is also relatively high, and small refrigerated trucks under 3 tons also cost about 200,000 yuan. Domestic cold chain enterprises are small in scale and do not have the strength to expand their purchasing power. The licensing and operating costs of refrigerated trucks are much higher than those of ordinary trucks. Refrigerated trucks are basically composed of chassis, refrigeration equipment and truck body, and the profit of refrigeration equipment is much higher than that of truck body. However, domestic refrigeration equipment is still mainly depend on imports, and whether consumers are willing to pay for cold chain food is also a problem.

According to the survey, more than 150 billion tons of refrigerated food needs to be transported in China every year, and cold chain enterprises have begun to build and expand cold storage and purchase refrigerated trucks to seize the cold chain logistics market. The country has also tightened its grip on food safety in the process of development, and the cold chain industry has also received more support to ensure food safety. The government has also issued many policies to regulate and encourage the development of the cold chain transportation industry. It is believed that the use of refrigerated trucks will become more and more popular in the future.
