The new range of vehicles has been designed and engineered as per temperature, volume and weight requirements prescribed by the government. The vehicles are available in a variety of capacities and tonnage points with 20 and 32 cuM refrigerated trucks in the Intermediate Commercial Vehicle (ICV) and Medium Commercial Vehicle (MCV) segments, respectively. Insulated vans are available in the ICV and MCV segments. Insulated vaccine vans in the Small Commercial Vehicle (SCV) and pick-up range are also on offer, to facilitate last-mile and for rural transportation of vaccines.

Tata Motors has tied up with leading reefer (refrigerated load body) manufacturers of the country. Over the years, Tata Motors has sold a number of reefers to various cold chain customers, primarily constituting pharma companies. These vehicles are claimed to offer longer uptime, quicker turnaround time and minimal maintenance and operation costs. They are also equipped with Fleet Edge telematics.
