(Javier Guill\u00e9n).<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The technology is assumed for each van:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Energy savings of more than 50%.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Fuel savings of 20 to 25%.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A consequent reduction of CO2 emissions estimated at 3.5 tons per year.  <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This technology is practically soundproof and does not require the vehicle&#8217;s engine to be kept running, a very relevant aspect for supermarkets located in the city that need to unload at night.<br \/>\nThis avoids disturbing the neighbors. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>  At the moment it has been incorporated in refrigeration chambers (fixed and portable) and in delivery vehicles.<br \/>\nBut companies in the logistics sector with Pharma work with it, as we do in Asmen Tipsa Valencia.<br \/>\nWe have incorporated 300 coolers with BiofreshTech technology into our network.<br \/>\nFor the future, we are testing a concept for a large distribution retailer in Valencia and also with Asmen. <strong>Being a logistics operator of reference in national food distribution requires adapting and incorporating elements to provide the best service at your fingertips<\/strong>.     <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">&#8220;The reception in the retail and food distribution sectors has been very positive because we have solved many problems for companies. Ensuring a constant temperature that avoids breaking the cold chain and that also means great savings for companies, are really impacting factors, in addition to favoring temperature-controlled capillary delivery with electric vehicles,&#8221; says Rafael Matamoros, CEO and co-founder of BiofreshTech.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>[:]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[We are used to seeing technological revolutions constantly, but the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_joinchat":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[152],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5545","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-logistics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asmen.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5545","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asmen.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asmen.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asmen.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asmen.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5545"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.asmen.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5545\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asmen.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5545"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asmen.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5545"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asmen.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
