DTDC starts vaccine delivery with hi-tech temperature control system

The logistics firm has the means to manage a temperature range of -80 degrees to +25 degrees celsius, backed by speedy and effective transportation across India

Logistics player DTDC today said it transported 39,000 doses of Covishield vaccines across India for a leading Bengaluru-based hospital chain. This is the first time the company has handled temperature controlled vaccine cargo.

DTDC delivered the vaccine across five cities--Gurgaon, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Raipur and Jaipur--in a time-bound operation.

“We deployed about 10 vehicles across the country to deliver the vaccine. The fleet is a combination of owned and leased trucks,” said a company source close to the development.
