American manufacturer of temperature control vehicles Thermo King has supplied the online grocery store Kibsons International with 80 new vans refrigerated with V-300 units.
The new refrigerated vehicles will operate across Kibson’s multiple sales points, cold store facilities and meat processing plant, expanding the reach of the company’s home delivery operations across the entire country.
The V-Series refrigeration units from Thermo King feature tight temperature control even with multiple delivery drops, easy to use driver interfaces and low noise, low emission operation as demanded in urban operations.
The units are powered by a road compressor and an electric power supply, offering high performance, efficient and reliable operations to protect the perishable goods during transport.
“Our ambition at Kibsons is to be the leader in the rapidly growing grocery home delivery sector in the UAE. By expanding our fleet, we can now quickly reach our customers anywhere in the country,” said Husainy Sharbat, finance and operations manager at Kibsons.
“We partnered with Refrigerated Transport System, an authorised dealer of Thermo King in the UAE to fit our vehicles with the best refrigeration technology and ensure that our products reach the customers in the best possible condition.
“Fleet utilisation is also crucial for our business, and Thermo King and its dealer network provide us with service and support whenever and wherever we need ensuring the highest uptime.”
“The accelerated growth of the online grocery shopping increased the demand for last-mile delivery fleets specified to transport the widening range of fresh and frozen products,” said Walid Sellami, area manager at Thermo King UAE.
