Container Corporation of India Limited (CONCOR), Public Sector under the Ministry of Railways, Government of India, is partnering with Japan-based “Innovation Thru Energy®” (ITE) to introduce groundbreaking IceBattery® technology to the Indian market. CONCOR and ITE are jointly unveiling state-of-the-art temperature-controlled IceBattery powered 40-feet passive Containers coupled with advanced DX (Digital) platforms, addressing critical issues in cold chain logistics, including environmental concerns, food wastage, the absence of a robust medical cold chain, and rising logistics costs. The historic departure of the 40FT IceBattery container from DFC (Dedicated Freight Corridor) Dadri terminal, marked by the participation of women, signifies not only the world’s first green cold chain logistics solution without reliance on power(non-diesel) but also serves as a symbol of “Women Empowerment” in India.
ITE, a leading Japanese manufacturer specializing of Green, sustainable cold chain products solutions, offers cost-efficient, passive solutions while reducing carbon emissions across all modes of logistics: train, sea, land, and air, as well as last-mile delivery.
Innovation Thru Energy (ITE) is a technology company based in Japan that revolutionizes the cold chain logistics industry through green technology and digital transformation solutions aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Traditional cold-chain logistics heavily rely on refrigerated containers, trucks, and storage facilities that consume significant amounts of electrical power and fossil fuels, leading to high operational costs and substantial carbon emissions. ITE has introduced a green technology alternative to traditional Dry Ice and diesel generator-driven refrigerated trucks. At ITE, we take pride in delivering innovative hybrid Cold Chain Logistics Solutions that reduce operational costs and CO2 emissions. The innovative IceBattery® system allows it to use existing infrastructure while optimizing energy usage. Unlike traditional methods, ITE’s technology allows standard trucks and infrastructure to be used for cold-chain logistics, eliminating the need for dedicated refrigerated equipment. By incorporating multiple temperature ranges, from chilled to frozen, within a single container or truck, ITE provides unprecedented flexibility and efficiency.
