In today’s automotive sector, cold chain logistics play an increasingly vital role behind the scenes. Many components in modern vehicles are sensitive to heat, cold, or humidity. For example, high-performance batteries (especially lithium-ion EV batteries) must be kept within strict temperature ranges to avoid degradation or safety risks. Similarly, specialized electronics, adhesives, sealants and liquid chemicals used in vehicle assembly can lose potency or spoil if exposed to extreme conditions. Even seemingly mundane fluids like certain automotive lubricants and coatings benefit from stable climate-controlled storage. By preserving material integrity throughout transit, cold chain shipping ensures that parts arrive ready for
