D-mobico
This is a portable refrigerator/freezer to deliver cold and frozen goods. The e-commerce
market has expanded rapidly in
recent years. There are vehicles that use dry ice to keep goods cool during the last
mile of delivery, and adequate
temperature management and more environmentally friendly delivery methods are in
demand.
Using a mobile battery for power and separating the cooling function from the
refrigerator vehicle eliminates the use of
dry ice and reduces CO2 emissions. We used a unit configuration that can handle cooling
boxes of various shapes and
sizes to enable delivery by motorcycles, bicycles, and other non-conventional
refrigerated vehicles. By doing so, we
optimized high-quality temperature management and delivery while adapting to the
expansion and diversification of
delivery methods.
During the design phase, we conceived of conventional, highly specialized,
low-temperature control product delivery that
can be handled anytime, by anyone, anywhere. From there, we worked to realize an
external shape and operational display
that allow the user to perceive the easy-to-understand and simple handling and a weight
that presumes portability.
