Reema Transport has carved a niche for itself as a premium logistics provider in the cold chain segment, particularly for pharmaceutical transport. Operating a high-quality fleet of refrigerated and dry container vehicles, the company’s hallmark lies in its custom-built containers tailored to global pharma compliance standards. Each reefer unit is precisely fabricated to accommodate both US and Euro pallet dimensions, ensuring maximum load efficiency and cross-border compatibility.
“Our strength lies not only in the number of vehicles we operate, but in the uncompromising standards we set for safety, hygiene, and temperature integrity. This focus is non-negotiable in pharmaceutical logistics,” says Reema Jogani, Director, Reema Transport.
Fleet Strength and Operational Excellence
With a growing fleet of over 200 dedicated and third-party vehicles, Reema Transport has deployed the youngest cold chain fleet in the industry. The fleet undergoes rigorous annual temperature mapping, real-time data logging, and preventive maintenance under OEM-backed warranties of up to 600,000 km. Daily roadworthiness inspections by an in-house maintenance team and stringent leak-proof testing further ensure operational excellence and reliability.
India’s logistics landscape is rapidly transforming, and Reema Transport is proactively aligning itself with the top three trends reshaping the sector: digitalisation, sustainability, and supply chain integration. The company is deeply invested in real-time visibility tools, electronic proof-of-delivery systems, and predictive maintenance platforms to enhance transparency and reduce operational friction.
“Digitalisation is no longer a choice; it’s the cost of entry into modern logistics. We’re integrating tech at every touchpoint to make real-time decisions, reduce errors, and offer our clients unparalleled control over their shipments,” she shares.
Smart Reefer Technology for Compliance & Control
Sustainability has become a guiding principle. Reema Transport has adopted Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) systems in compliance with Bharat Stage VI norms to significantly reduce harmful NOx emissions from diesel engines. In parallel, route optimisation, hybrid reefer trials for short-haul deliveries, and fuel efficiency monitoring are helping the company reduce its carbon footprint. As an added step, drivers are trained to carry vehicle-specific DEF to avoid roadside disruptions caused by fluid shortages.
In the refrigerated transport space, technology plays a dual role; enhancing both efficiency and compliance. IoT-enabled sensors monitor not only location but also temperature and humidity in real time. These digital tools improve food and pharmaceutical safety, optimise routes, and reduce vehicle idling, all contributing to lower emissions.
“Our vision for sustainability goes beyond compliance. It’s about future-proofing our operations while safeguarding the integrity of every payload. From digital logs to eco-driving training, every detail counts,” emphasizes Reema.
Evolving With Customer Expectations
The evolution of customer expectations has pushed Reema Transport to rethink not just service delivery but its entire operational strategy. Today, clients expect speed, visibility, and reliability; and they expect them consistently. Real-time tracking, proactive communication, and seamless last-mile integration are now baseline expectations rather than differentiators.
“Customers today don’t just want their shipment delivered; they want to see it move, understand delays, and feel assured that nothing is left to chance. That level of transparency and reliability builds trust, and we deliver on that trust every day,” she adds.
Internally, Reema Transport ensures compliance and service quality through standardized operating procedures (SOPs), continuous monitoring, and alignment with GDP (Good Distribution Practice) guidelines. These systems are particularly crucial for high-value, temperature-sensitive pharma shipments, where even minor deviations can lead to regulatory and financial risks.
The Road Ahead: Skilling, Infrastructure & Policy
Looking ahead, the Indian road transport sector stands at a pivotal junction. While the opportunities; from e-mobility to intelligent transport systems; are immense, challenges such as infrastructure gaps, regulatory fragmentation, and the shortage of skilled workers remain significant barriers.
“India has the potential to lead the world in smart, sustainable logistics. But this will require coordinated policy, digital infrastructure, and most importantly, a skilled workforce ready for tomorrow’s transport ecosystem,” asserts Reema.
As Reema Transport continues its journey, it remains committed to raising industry standards, embracing innovation, and driving sustainable growth. Guided by a philosophy of precision, responsibility, and service excellence, the company is not just delivering goods; it’s delivering trust in every kilometre.
