Container Corporation of India Ltd (CONCOR) joined forces with Innovation Thru Energy (ITE), Japan to explore green logistics solutions, using ITE’s patented ‘Ice Battery technology’, this unique passive cooling technology does not require a diesel-based DG set for maintaining a cold chain during transportation.

Thus, it is an important step towards providing an environmentally friendly cold chain logistics solution. Also, the technology maintains the required humidity and freshness for up to 72 hours- ideal for temperature-sensitive products.

The partnership for sustainable cold chain logistics highlights the efforts being made by CONCOR and Indian Railways to develop and foster innovation in the cold chain logistics sector to enhance the capacity and effectiveness of the railways in carrying out cold chain logistics operations efficiently and sustainably.
