Electric Vans to Power Cold Chain Medicine Transport in India by 2025

In a groundbreaking shift toward green healthcare logistics, IndianPharma has introduced pharma cold chain EV vans for delivering temperature-sensitive medicines across major metro cities. These electric vans combine zero-emission technology with advanced refrigeration systems to ensure seamless temperature control for critical drug transportation.

This move supports India’s pharmaceutical supply chain modernization, especially for vaccine delivery, insulin, blood plasma, and organ transportation. These cold chain vans are already operational in select regions and are set to expand nationwide.

Electric Vans to Power Cold Chain Medicine Transport in India by 2025

Features of the new pharma EV logistics vans

The new pharma cold chain EV vans are equipped with:

  • Dual temperature zone compartments (2–8°C and -20°C)

  • Real-time temperature monitoring systems

  • GPS and fleet tracking integration

  • Solar-panel assisted battery recharge (pilot phase)

  • Rapid cooling backup during power cuts

These upgrades make them ideal for maintaining product integrity across long routes — a major boost for pharma EV logistics.

Why EVs are critical to medical temperature control

The use of electric vans ensures consistent refrigeration during transit without emitting pollutants, making them perfect for temperature control applications in sensitive medicine transport. These vehicles also meet WHO transport compliance for medical logistics.

They lower both carbon output and operating costs while offering precise control over thermal conditions during delivery.
