What is TCV ?

TCV commonly stands for “Temperature Controlled Vehicle.” A Temperature Controlled Vehicle is a type of vehicle or transportation method equipped to maintain a specific temperature range for transporting goods that require temperature-sensitive conditions. These vehicles are often used in the transportation of perishable goods such as pharmaceuticals, food, or other items that need to be kept at a controlled temperature to ensure their quality and safety.

Temperature controlled vehicles typically have refrigeration or heating systems to regulate the internal temperature and may be referred to as reefers (refrigerated trucks) or heated trucks, depending on their purpose. This type of transportation is crucial for industries where maintaining a specific temperature is essential to preserve the integrity of the transported goods.
