International FTL Cold Chain Transport Temperature Control Tech Standard

International FTL Cold Chain Logistics Transport Temperature Control Technical Standards

With the acceleration of globalization and the improvement of people's living standards, the trade volume of temperature-sensitive commodities such as food and medicine is increasing day by day. Against this backdrop, cold chain logistics, as an important link to ensure product quality, has become one of the key indicators to measure the modernization level of logistics in a country or region. Among them, the temperature control technical standards in FTL Full Truck Load mode, which refers to whole vehicle transportation, are the core elements to ensure that goods maintain appropriate temperatures throughout the entire supply chain.

In recent years, countries have successively introduced policies and regulations to standardize the development of the cold chain logistics industry. For example, in Europe, the European Commission has formulated strict management regulations for cold chain logistics, requiring all enterprises involved in cross-border trade to comply with unified technical standards; while in the United States, the federal government has passed a series of bills to strengthen requirements on refrigerated vehicles and facilities. These measures not only promote the improvement of regional logistics systems but also provide valuable experience for global standardization construction.

In the Asian market, China, as one of the largest emerging economies in the world, has recently attached great importance to the reform and development of the cold chain logistics industry. At the beginning of 2025, the China Transportation and Communications Association took the lead in drafting and released the Group Standard for Temperature Control Technology Specifications in FTL Cold Chain Transport. This standard details the technical requirements from vehicle design and manufacturing to actual operation execution. This marks that China has officially entered a new stage of building an international cold chain logistics service system.

According to the latest data, by the end of the second quarter of 2025, more than 50% of large logistics enterprises across the country have started using new refrigerated vehicles that meet the above national standards for business operations. Meanwhile, more small enterprises and individual operators are beginning to realize the importance of improving their own technical levels and actively seeking cooperation opportunities with professional service providers. This virtuous cycle effectively promotes the entire industrial chain toward more efficient and safer development.

It is worth noting that in the practical application process, besides the improvement of hardware facilities, optimizing software systems is equally crucial. For example, by leveraging Internet of Things IoT technology and big data analytics, real-time monitoring of each trip can be achieved, promptly identifying potential problems and taking corresponding measures; efforts should also be made to enhance employee training, improve the professional qualities and service awareness of practitioners, thereby ensuring that every order can be successfully completed.

Looking ahead, with the progress of science and technology and changes in social needs, the FTL cold chain transport temperature control technical standards will continue to iterate and upgrade. On one hand, we need to deepen international cooperation, absorb and learn advanced management concepts and technical achievements from other countries and regions; on the other hand, we must combine the actual conditions of our own country, explore a development path with Chinese characteristics. Only in this way can we truly achieve the dual goals of economic benefits and social benefits.

In short, the release of the FTL cold chain transport temperature control technical specifications is an important milestone in the development history of China's cold chain logistics industry. It not only fills the gap in relevant fields at home but also lays a solid foundation for further expanding openness in the future. We believe that over time, this standard will gain recognition from more countries and regions, making greater contributions to building a community with a shared future for mankind.
