Kibsons International LLC, one of the largest retailers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has expanded its grocery home delivery fleet with 80 new refrigerated vans refrigerated with V-300 units from Thermo King. 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.
“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. “Frequent stops and door openings are an integral part of home delivery operations, putting more pressure and demanding more capacity from the refrigeration units. We are proud of working closely with Kibsons and providing them with our technology and expertise to keep their business running.”
