Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV), the maker of BharatBenz brand of commercial vehicles has launched a specialized reefer (refrigerated) truck to safely transport (covid-19) vaccines across India.

This comes in association with component maker Motherson Group. Unveiled today in Delhi 'BSafe Express' for Vaccine Transportation will overcomes cold-chain distribution challenges with maximum uptime and faster turnaround; protects vaccines end to end from shipment to final delivery.

Equipped with state-of-the-art connectivity, the BSafeExpress uses newly developed refrigeration units that ensure the temperature and stability of the vaccines is accurately monitored and maintained at all stages of delivery, the company claimed.

The refrigerated container has been created out of Glass Reinforced Plastic, XPS Foam, and other carefully chosen materials that ensure the product is strong, water-resistant, and non-corrosive, and highly insulated. The container comes with purpose-built IoT sensors integrated inside the container, fleet managers can monitor temperature, humidity, shock, tilt, and tamper. They can also adjust the temperature as required and sound the alarm if a problem occurs. This further integrates with QR Code tracking of all stock onboard, so that users can check the location, status, and history of each package. The reefer is mounted on the BharatBenz 2823R chassis, India's most reliable, efficient and safe heavy-duty truck. This ensures maximum uptime and faster turnaround, the two most important characteristics expected of vehicles that carry life-saving medicines.

Paired with BharatBenz's 'Truck connect' telematics platform, the BSafe Express offers vaccine distributors absolute peace of mind with real-time tracking of both the vehicle and its precious cargo.
