IceBattery® Launches India’s First Net-Zero Rail & Land Cold Chain with CONCOR 20ft/40ft ISO Containers, Reefer Trucks, and portable Cold Storage
NEW DELHI, INDIA, February 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — In a major step toward transforming India’s Cold Chain logistics, agricultural and pharmaceutical supply chains, Japan’s Innovation Thru Energy (ITE), in collaboration with IceBattery India and strategic freight rail partner Container Corporation of India (CONCOR), launched the revolutionary IceBattery® Net-Zero Rail and Land Cold Chain Technology at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi.
The high-profile launch, held on Japan Foundation Day, signals a new era of diesel-free, climate-resilient, and energy-efficient Green cold chain infrastructure for India.
🔥 A Game-Changer for India’s Cold Chain Industry: IceBattery® introduces a Zero Diesel Cooling Platform powered by advanced IceBattery Technology — eliminating dependence on continuous diesel refrigeration and significantly cutting fuel consumption, operation cost, electricity demand, and carbon emissions.
Monozukuri: IceBattery technology, proudly developed under Japan’s renowned “Monozukuri” philosophy, has been successfully adopted by more than 350 B2B customers across Japan, including deployments in 70+ cities during COVID-19. The system has supported critical sectors such as pharmaceuticals, life sciences, dairy, perishable foods, food processing, and vaccine storage. With an exceptional zero-failure track record spanning more than 18 years, IceBattery has consistently delivered superior performance, reliability, and quality, making it a trusted solution for mission-critical temperature control applications nationwide.
This Net-Zero-ready technology ensures uninterrupted temperature stability — even during transit delays or power disruptions — solving one of India’s biggest cold chain challenges.
With India losing billions annually due to post-harvest spoilage, the solution directly supports:
• Significantly reduces food wastage and dramatically extends shelf life through precise temperature control and high-humidity preservation
• Strengthening of agricultural and pharmaceutical supply chains
• Saving 50% operation cost with zero failure.
• ESG and Net-Zero compliance & Renewable energy integration
🚆🚛 Full-Scale Multimodal Net-Zero Deployment: IceBattery® has been engineered as a complete, scalable ecosystem, deployable across Rail, Land, and stationary cold storage platforms:
• Rail & Sea ISO 20ft /40ft Container
• Refrigerated Truck Solutions 32ft/ 24ft/20ft Truck and 10ft truck for last-miles
• Stationary 20ft Portable Cold Storage
This integrated approach positions IceBattery® as one of the most comprehensive Net-Zero Green cold chain solutions available in the global market today.
🤝 Strategic Partnership with CONCOR & Make in India Manufacturing
A key milestone of the event was the announcement of CONCOR as a strategic rail logistics partner, reinforcing the expansion of energy-efficient refrigerated rail freight movement across India.
Speaking at the event, Tadamasa Ishida “IceBattery® represents a revolutionary step in cold chain logistics. With its low carbon footprint and high operational reliability, it has the potential to disrupt conventional refrigeration systems and set new global standards.”
Shri Sanjay Swarup, CMD, CONCOR, added: “The technology has proven performance in Japan and has demonstrated strong results in Indian operating conditions. We see significant potential across rail and sea logistics as India strengthens its cold chain infrastructure.”
