India’s cold chain logistics sector is witnessing a major shift toward sustainable transportation as electric commercial vehicles gain momentum across the country. In response to rising demand for energy-efficient and temperature-controlled delivery solutions, SWITCH Mobility has launched the SWITCH IeV4 Reefer, an electric refrigerated vehicle designed for cold chain operations across urban and regional markets. The launch comes at a time when logistics companies are increasingly looking for solutions that reduce operational costs, improve fleet efficiency, and support environmental goals. With industries such as pharmaceuticals, dairy, frozen foods, and FMCG relying heavily on temperature-sensitive transportation, the need for reliable electric refrigerated vehicles has become more significant. Built on the company’s next-generation IeV electric vehicle platform, the IeV4 Reefer combines electric mobility technology with advanced refrigeration capabilities. The vehicle operates on a 300V EV architecture and is equipped with a 32.2 kWh lithium-ion battery. It is powered by a permanent magnet synchronous motor capable of producing 60 kW peak power and 230 Nm torque, enabling efficient performance across varied logistics conditions. The refrigerated vehicle supports temperature ranges between -25°C and +25°C, allowing it to cater to frozen, chilled, and fresh cargo transportation requirements. The vehicle is expected to support applications including pharmaceutical distribution, milk and dairy transportation, bakery logistics, frozen foods, fresh produce, and meat delivery. To ensure consistent temperature retention, the reefer body uses insulated sandwich panel construction with 100 mm thick insulation across all panels. The vehicle also includes standby and pre-cooling functionality, enabling the refrigeration unit to operate using external grid power while the vehicle is charging or during loading and unloading operations. This feature helps reduce battery consumption and improve driving efficiency during delivery cycles. The IeV4 Reefer offers a gross vehicle weight of 3,490 kg and a payload capacity of 1,200 kg, making it suitable for mid-mile and last-mile cold chain operations. SWITCH Mobility stated that the vehicle has already seen adoption across western, northern, and southern regions of India for various refrigerated transport applications. The electric refrigerated vehicle is equipped with CCS2 AC and DC charging capability, with fast charging technology allowing the battery to charge from 10% to 80% in nearly 55 minutes. Additional features such as 22% gradeability and a top speed of 80 kmph are aimed at supporting dependable performance across diverse operating conditions. Driver comfort and ease of operation have also been prioritised in the vehicle’s design. The IeV4 Reefer comes with electric power steering, D+2 seating configuration, and suspension systems designed to improve stability and manoeuvrability during daily logistics operations. With the introduction of the IeV4 Reefer, SWITCH Mobility is strengthening its position in India’s growing electric commercial vehicle market while contributing to the expansion of sustainable cold chain transportation infrastructure.
