The Swiss Inter Rail Group ran its first reefer container transports between Asia and Europe last year. The transport company has now added regular temperature-controlled rail services to its portfolio.
Inter Rail uses diesel-powered 45-foot pallet wide reefer containers, which can cool or heat independently of the infrastructure on different modes of transport. The performance and internal temperature of the containers are monitored around the clock, with customers receiving at least one detailed report per day. The refrigerated containers hold up to 33 euro-pallets each, maintaining a good air circulation within the container. (ben)
