Temperature-controlled transport above zerofor pharmaceuticals, food and sensitive industrial goods
GLOBALSPED organizes temperature-controlled road transport between Europe, Central Asia, the Caucasus, the Middle East and Eastern Europe – for goods that require a controlled temperature throughout the entire transport process.
For temperature-controlled transports, not only the vehicle and temperature range are decisive, but also the route, transit time, border handling, documentation and the ability to react quickly in the event of delays.
Temperature-controlled road transport in above-zero temperature ranges
Suitable for medicines, food and sensitive industrial products
Planning according to defined temperature requirements
No frozen, deep-freeze or below-zero temperature transports
Temperature-controlled road transport
Temperature-controlled transport above zero
Our temperature-controlled transports are designed for controlled above-zero temperature ranges. Transport requests most frequently involve +2 °C to +8 °C or +15 °C to +25 °C.
+2 °C to +8 °C
for chilled goods
+15 °C to +25 °C
for controlled room temperature
No below-zero temperatures
no frozen or deep-freeze transports
Typical use cases
Temperature-controlled transports are suitable for goods that must be protected from heat, cold or strong temperature fluctuations.
Pharmaceuticals & medicines
For medicines, pharmaceutical products and sensitive medical goods with defined temperature requirements.
Food & consumer goods
For sensitive food and consumer goods that must be protected from temperature deviations during transport.
Construction & industrial products
For temperature-sensitive construction materials, building materials and industrial products.
Chemical & technical goods
For chemical or technical products with clearly defined transport conditions.

Important details for temperature-controlled transports
For temperature-controlled transports, the key question is not only whether goods must be cooled or heated. The specific temperature range, permitted deviations, vehicle suitability, route duration and verifiable temperature control are decisive. This information influences vehicle selection, route planning, border handling, documentation and the operational response in the event of delays.
Temperature range & product specification
The specific temperature range is the most important basis for transport checks. Specifications such as +2 °C to +8 °C, +15 °C to +25 °C, frozen range or frost-free transport influence vehicle selection, preconditioning, loading, transit planning and risk assessment. Especially on long international routes, it should also be clear whether short-term temperature deviations are permitted or whether the goods must remain continuously within the defined range.
Cold chain & temperature deviations
For sensitive goods, the cold chain should not be understood as a vehicle service alone. Loading windows, waiting times, border delays, transshipments, door openings and coordination with shipper and consignee are also critical. For reliable planning, it should be clear before transport begins how temperature deviations are handled, who must be informed and which documentation is required in the event of a deviation.
ATP vehicle standard for perishable foodstuffs
For certain international transports of perishable foodstuffs, the suitability of the transport equipment used is particularly relevant. The ATP Agreement describes technical requirements for special equipment used for the carriage of perishable foodstuffs. In practice, it should therefore be checked early whether the goods are ATP-relevant, which vehicle class is required and whether the planned route, transit time and outside temperature match the equipment.
Temperature monitoring & records
Temperature-controlled transports require traceable information on temperature control. Depending on the goods, temperature recording, data loggers, vehicle telematics, handover protocols or qualified transport documentation may be required. For pharmaceutical, food and industrial goods, it is essential that temperature data and transport events are documented in a way that later makes deviations, waiting times and responsibilities traceable.
This information supports an initial technical assessment. In the transport request, temperature control requirements, goods description, transit time, documents and special instructions can be submitted directly so that GLOBALSPED can check vehicle selection, route and operational risks more quickly.
