A refrigeration vehicle (10) for use in transporting temperature sensitive products such that the product is transferred between locations without being compromised. The refrigeration vehicle comprises a refrigeration area operable within a required temperature range by at least two refrigeration units, a first refrigeration unit (12) being operable by the vehicle's power supply ie the engine (1) and a second refrigeration unit (14) being operable by both an auxiliary battery (2) and mains electricity supply (6), at least one detection probe (11, 15-17) for monitoring the temperature of the refrigeration area, a monitoring unit (21) for recording and displaying the temperature data from the detection probe, and an alarm unit which is triggered when the temperature of the refrigeration area reaches a pre-set minimum or maximum temperature on the monitoring unit. The refrigeration vehicle can further comprise a global positioning system (GPS) (23) which facilitates remote monitoring of the position of the vehicle and/or recording and displaying the analysis of the temperature detection probes. |
