2GO introduces 1st multi-temperature reefer vans in PH

GO Group Inc., a pioneer in less than container load (LCL) reefer vans in the Philippines and a subsidiary of SM Investments Corp., began the new year with the arrival of its new multipletemperature vans — the first in the country — in a move to boost safe and secure transportation of goods that are critical for spurring economic activity.

Managed by its subsidiary, 2GO Special Containers and ValueAdded Services Inc. (SCVASI), each reefer had mixed temperature settings, which allowed each van to store and transport both frozen and chilled food items at the same time, freeing up slots in vessels. Frozen food, such as meat and fish, were typically preserved at a temperature of -20 degrees Celsius (C) while chilled food, such as fruits and vegetables, were kept between -2 C and -6 C.

Each multi-temperature van had a length of 20 feet and would be used for 2GO SCVASI’s LCL reefer service.

On top of this, 2GO SCVASI acquired LCL reefer vans for frozen foods. Together with the multi-temperature reefers, these would be deployed throughout the country. The addition of these assets increased 2GO SCVASI’s van fleet by 25 percent.

“We continue to believe in the long-term growth potential of this sector and have made these strategic investments, as we expect consumer growth to drive the economy. With these new assets, we raise our standards in transporting the freshest food possible, especially as customer demand rises in the coming weeks,” said 2GO SCVASI President Gener Lim.

2GO SCVASI continued to have one of the largest fleets of reefers in the country.
