Innovative Drug Delivery Experiment Amidst Extreme Heat
Alfretta Corporation and Yamato Transport Co., Ltd. have officially launched a pioneering demonstration project aimed at enhancing pharmaceutical deliveries during the increasingly common extreme heat conditions resulting from abnormal weather patterns. This initiative leverages small electric vehicles (EVs) and insulated transport equipment to ensure that medications are delivered safely and efficiently, while also prioritizing environmental sustainability.
Overview of the Demonstration Project
The experiment is scheduled to run from August 18 to August 29, 2025, taking place at Alfretta's Fuchu office in Tokyo. The transportation vehicle designated for this trial is the Hino Dutro Z EV, which has a maximum payload capacity of one ton. Each participating company will play specific roles in this effort:
- - Alfretta will be responsible for delivering pharmaceuticals to hospitals associated with the Fuchu office.
- - Yamato Transport will provide insulated transport equipment featuring the compact mobile refrigeration unit,
