JUN 15, 2004 (newstodate): Swedish provider Envirotainer is readying to launch their new temperature-controlled containter, the RHN e1, expected to receive its airworthiness certificate by the end of June.
The new cool container concept has been designed for shipments of products requiring a steady temperature between +2 and +8 degrees.
These margins are provided by the integration of a heating and cooling system that can operate on external as well as internal power sources.
The container's internal power supply is a series of rechargable batteries that can keep the stand-alone unit under temperature control for 30 hours under extreme temperatures ranging between -10 to +30 degrees.
The new container does away with the traditional dry ice/batteries combination, and a set of connectors facilitates recharging and electricity supply on a woldwide basis.
Also from the end of June, Envirotainer will initiate, together with lead customers, tests on specified traffic lanes to prove the performance. These tests will run during the summer and early August.
After completion of these tests, the new containers will become commercially available on a limited basis as certain trade lanes will be set up in cooperation with shippers, forwarders, airlines and Envirotainer.
