Regular and urgent dedicated temperature-controlled transport for pharmaceuticals, clinical materials and biotech products.
Interlogis Time Critical provides dedicated, temperature-controlled time-critical pharmaceutical transport across Europe. We support companies whose pharmaceutical shipments need to move quickly, directly and within strictly controlled temperature conditions — not only occasionally, but as part of their regular logistics operations.
Our service is designed especially for customers with recurring time-critical transport requirements: daily shipments, several urgent deliveries per week, regular international routes or dedicated capacity required on specific days.
We operate temperature-controlled VANs for Cold Chain transport at +2°C to +8°C and Controlled Room Temperature transport at +15°C to +25°C.
Each shipment can travel directly from sender to consignee in a dedicated vehicle — without transshipment or cross-docking, with GPS tracking and continuous temperature monitoring throughout the journey.
Ask for a quotationMany pharmaceutical supply chains require shipments to reach another country as quickly as possible on a regular basis. Samples, clinical materials, active pharmaceutical ingredients and finished pharmaceutical products may need to move between laboratories, production facilities, distribution centres or other locations every day or several times per week — while still requiring short transit times and controlled temperature conditions.
The frequency can be adapted to the customer’s operation. It may be a vehicle required every day, twice a week or according to another recurring schedule.
The key is repeatability combined with urgency:
regular transport volume, time-critical execution.
For temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical cargo, reducing transit time is not only about delivering faster.
A shorter and more direct transport chain can also reduce the number of operational variables affecting the shipment.
Our dedicated VAN model enables cargo to travel directly from the loading point to the consignee without:
This makes the service particularly suitable for recurring pharmaceutical shipments where both delivery time and temperature stability are critical.
Instead of moving through a standard groupage or distribution network, the shipment remains in the same dedicated temperature-controlled vehicle from collection to delivery.
Our Pharma service is based on dedicated Piaggio Porter temperature-controlled VANs with a GVW of 2,490 kg.
The vehicle concept is particularly suited to pharmaceutical shipments where the priority is not maximum cargo volume, but fast international transit, direct delivery and temperature control.
The 2.49 t GVW keeps the vehicle below the 2.5 t threshold relevant to additional tachograph requirements introduced for heavier light commercial vehicles in international transport.
This is especially important for our time-critical model.
For customers moving pharmaceutical cargo between European countries, the objective is to minimise unnecessary delays and maintain a direct transport process for as much of the journey as possible.
Combined with a payload of up to 700 kg and capacity for up to five Euro pallets, our VANs provide a dedicated solution for smaller and medium-sized pharmaceutical shipments requiring fast door-to-door transport across Europe.

Our objective is not only to find a vehicle when an urgent shipment appears.
For customers with recurring requirements, we can develop a more predictable time-critical transport setup around their regular routes and shipment volumes.
Examples include:
Daily route
A temperature-controlled VAN regularly transports pharmaceutical cargo between two European locations with a short required transit time.
Several transports per week
Dedicated vehicles are arranged according to a recurring weekly schedule while maintaining the time-critical direct-drive model.
Recurring route with variable shipment times
The origin and destination remain predictable, while collection times or shipment frequency may vary.
Dedicated capacity
Vehicle capacity can be planned around the customer’s recurring demand instead of sourcing each shipment independently on the SPOT market.
This combines the speed and directness of time-critical logistics with the operational predictability required for regular pharmaceutical supply chains.
Some customers have regular time-critical requirements but cannot predict exactly when each shipment will be released.
For these operations, we can provide a Standby VAN service.
A dedicated temperature-controlled vehicle is reserved for the customer for an agreed period and remains ready to respond when required.
This can be particularly useful when:
Standby VAN combines planned vehicle availability with time-critical execution.
In addition to regular time-critical operations, we can handle individual urgent and emergency pharmaceutical shipments subject to current vehicle availability. For a SPOT request, our team checks available temperature-controlled capacity and proposes the fastest suitable solution based on the collection point, destination, temperature requirement and required delivery time. However, customers with frequent urgent shipments can benefit from a regular transport arrangement or Standby VAN service rather than relying exclusively on SPOT availability.
If your company regularly ships pharmaceuticals, samples, clinical materials, APIs or other temperature-sensitive products across Europe, we can build a dedicated transport solution around your operational requirements. Whether you need daily deliveries, several urgent transports per week or dedicated standby capacity, we can adapt the service to your routes, required transit times, temperature ranges and shipment volumes. Talk to our team about your regular Pharma transport requirements and let us prepare a dedicated time-critical solution for your European supply chain.
