Isothermal van or refrigerated van? We are looking for the optimal solution together with Hyundai Trucks Uzbekistan

Choosing the right type of truck body is not an easy task, especially when it comes to transporting perishable goods. This question is especially relevant in our hot summer conditions. The most popular and economically preferable options are isothermal and refrigerated vans. Let's consider their differences and advantages together with Hyundai Trucks Uzbekistan in order to make the most optimal choice for your business.

Isothermal body. This type of body is a thermally insulated structure designed to maintain a stable temperature inside the cargo compartment. Thanks to the multi-layer walls made of thermally insulating material, the body protects the cargo from sudden changes in ambient temperature. This allows for the transportation of perishable goods over short distances or for a short period of time.

Advantages of an isothermal body:

• A much more affordable price compared to a truck with a refrigerated body.
• Ease of operation and maintenance.
• The absence of additional active cooling systems reduces fuel consumption.

Disadvantages of an isothermal body:

• Limited storage time of goods in a cooled or heated state.
• The need to pre-cool or heat the body before loading.

Refrigerated body. This is a special body with a built-in cooling or heating system, which allows you to maintain a set temperature inside the cargo compartment for a long time. This is an ideal solution for transporting perishable products over long distances or when long-term storage in a cooled or frozen state is required.

Advantages of a refrigerated body:

• The ability to maintain a set temperature throughout the entire route.
• Longer storage time for goods in the desired condition.
• No need to pre-cool or heat the body.

Disadvantages of a refrigerated body:

• Higher purchase and operating costs compared to a truck with an isothermal body (fuel consumption for operating the refrigeration system).
• Need for regular maintenance of the refrigeration system.
• More complex design compared to an isothermal body, requiring additional qualifications from drivers.

The choice between isothermal and refrigerated bodies depends on the specifics of the business, the type of cargo being transported depends on the type, distances and time frame. If the company's work is related to the transportation of perishable goods over short distances or for several hours, an isothermal body may be the optimal solution in terms of cost and ease of use. However, if we are talking about long routes or the need to maintain a strictly defined temperature regime, then a refrigerator will be the most optimal choice, which can ensure a high level of safety and quality of the transported cargo.
