Indicold launches electric refrigerated truck fleet for Delhi NCR cold chain operations

Cold-chain operator Indicold has introduced electric refrigerated trucks for temperature-controlled transportation across Delhi NCR. The vehicles are charged using solar power at the company's Palwal warehouse, which has a reported 100 kW solar installation.

The initiative aims to reduce emissions associated with conventional diesel-powered refrigerated vehicles while maintaining temperature control during transportation of chilled and frozen food products.

The company has reported trials on routes covering Gurugram, Noida, Greater Noida and South Delhi. It has also reported a range of approximately 168–177 km per charge while operating the refrigeration system. Frozen products, including ice cream, were included in the trials.

The development illustrates how electric mobility and renewable energy can be integrated into food logistics, particularly for urban cold-chain distribution.
