The first major application is farm fresh produce collection and pre-cooling transportation. Light reefer truck connects farms, packing houses and regional cold storage warehouses, carrying fruits, vegetables, fresh melons and berries under stable chilled temperature. Compared with large heavy reefer trailers, this small refrigerated lorry can drive into narrow rural farm roads and flexible loading zones, reducing fresh product loss before entering wholesale markets.

Cold chain light trucks deliver chilled meat, poultry, seafood, dairy products, ready meals and frozen food from distribution centers to supermarkets, grocery shops, restaurants, canteens and community fresh stores.
