Cool Swissness cube
Swiss Worldcargo, Swiss Airtainer (see p. 24 of tomorrow's ITJ 17-18/2023) and pharma logistics specialist BPL have launched a cool airfreight container for life-saving medicine that brings a significant weight reduction of 250 kg and thereby less fuel consumption.
The first shipment with this container, which uses solar energy to feed the battery, recently took place from Basel via Zurich to San Francisco.
Lorenzo Stoll (right, with Eduard Seligman, CEO of Swiss Airtainer, and Claudine Felber, business development manager of BPL), head of cargo at Swiss International Air Lines: "We are excited to be a part of this innovation, which has the potential to significantly impact the transportation of life-saving medicine. The self-sustaining airfreight container is a game-changer for the industry, and we are highly committed to its success." (ah)
