Temperature-controlled food transport has become essential for Moroccan businesses: restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, cheese shops, fish markets, butcher shops, and distribution companies. By 2025, stricter health and logistical requirements will necessitate the selection of a high-performance, reliable refrigerated vehicle that complies with Moroccan standards.

In this guide, discover all the essential criteria for choosing a car or refrigerated van suited to your needs in Morocco.

1. Identify the type of food products to be transported

The choice of vehicle depends primarily on the goods being transported:

  • Fresh products: 0°C to +4°C
  • Frozen products: -18°C
  • Sensitive products: meats, fish, dairy products
  • Products requiring two temperature zones

👉 Each category requires a suitable cooling capacity and type of insulation.

2. Choose the correct temperature range (0°C to -20°C)

The refrigeration system is the central component of the vehicle.
It must guarantee:

  • A stable temperature , even during shutdowns.
  • A rapid descent to the desired temperature
  • Continuous operation for long distances

The refrigerated vehicles offered by AnasCars Morocco generally cover temperature ranges from 0°C to -20°C , suitable for most needs.

3. Determine the loading capacity and volume

The size of the vehicle depends on the volume of goods being transported:

  • Small refrigerated van : urban deliveries, fresh produce, restaurants
  • 3.5-tonne van : regional and intercity distribution
  • Large-capacity refrigerated truck : food transport companies, wholesalers

Choosing the right volume allows you to:

  • A reduction in fuel costs
  • Better logistical organization
  • Optimal adherence to the cold chain

4. Check the thermal insulation and the quality of the casing

The enclosure must maintain the temperature despite the outside heat, especially in Morocco.

A good container ensures that the quality of the food is preserved.
