Pharmaceutical Logistics Solutions for Cold Chain Integrity
The cost of failures in pharmaceutical logistics can be critical, particularly when transporting medical products such as vaccines, biologics, and active pharmaceutical ingredients.
At Celsius, we understand the importance of reliable temperature controlled pharmaceutical transport. Our vans are designed and engineered to mitigate risk, meet strict regulatory demands, and maintain temperature integrity from collection to final delivery.
Our pharmaceutical transport solutions include short-range urban delivery and long-distance cold chain pharmaceutical transport. Celsius vans are all fitted with energy-efficient insulation panels, developed with cutting-edge technology that uses recycled bottles so that the panels can be recycled and the material reused at end of life.
What Is Pharmaceutical Logistics?
Pharmaceutical logistics is the handling, transportation and delivery of temperature-sensitive medicinal products. Integral to this is maintaining product integrity, ensuring accurate timing, and meeting strict regulatory requirements.
Pharmaceutical transport must align with GDP (Good Distribution Practice) as well as other industry standards including:
- MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency)
- GxP Compliance
- NHS Pharmaceutical Logistics Guidance
- HACCP Principles
- ISO 9001 and/or ISO 13485
At Celsius, we provide support to the pharmaceutical industry in meeting these regulations by designing and building van conversions that comply with regulatory standards and operational pressures.
Our vehicles are engineered to support temperature controlled pharmaceutical transport and include features such as dual compartment setups, standby systems and integrated temperature monitoring.

Cold Chain Pharmaceutical Transport Services
Maintaining Temperature Integrity
Our vehicles are designed and engineered to maintain critical temperature ranges such as 2–8°C, -20°C, -70°C, etc. They can also include dual compartments with options for independent climate zones, allowing for the separation of different items during transit.
At Celsius, monitoring and data logging systems are integrated into our vehicles as standard to help maintain the cold chain and ensure compliance during cold chain pharmaceutical transport.
Regulatory Compliance and Certifications
Our pharmaceutical logistics builds support compliance with GDP, GxP and MHRA Standards. We also provide ATP certification where required and ensure compatibility with other regulatory frameworks across the UK and Europe.
At Celsius, all our conversions are designed and engineered to support temperature controlled pharmaceutical transport and ensure the secure and compliant movement of critical goods.
Refrigerated Pharmaceutical Transport Fleet
Our designs and builds support refrigerated pharmaceutical transport by equipping each vehicle with high-performance insulation, active cooling systems, temperature monitoring, real-time GPS tracking, and intelligent layout design to minimise load disturbance.
We offer a quick turnaround, UK-wide delivery, and full aftersales support to ensure your pharmaceutical transport operations remain compliant with industry standards and run smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pharmaceutical Logistics Vans
What is the difference between cold chain and temperature-controlled transport?
Cold chain transport refers to a fully monitored, unbroken temperature-controlled process used for highly sensitive goods that typically require strict ranges such as 2–8°C or below. Temperature-controlled transport is a broader term that includes any transport where temperature is regulated, but not necessarily continuously or as tightly controlled.
What is pharmaceutical logistics?
Pharmaceutical logistics is the process of storing, handling and transporting medicinal products under controlled conditions to maintain safety, quality and regulatory compliance. At Celsius, we build specialist van conversions to support strict requirements.
What is transport validation for pharmaceutical products?
Transport validation is the process of proving that pharmaceutical products can be safely moved under defined conditions. It ensures temperature, handling, and timing meet regulatory requirements.
Looking for a Fridge Van Conversion?
We offer custom-built fridge van conversions that are developed with recycled materials, that are fully recyclable again at end of life. Our fridge vans meet stringent industry standards and are used in food supply, life science transport, agriculture and pharmaceutical logistics.
