Can I convert an old van like this Citroen to use for transport of refrigerated goods?
Answer: Yes, you can convert an old van to transport refrigerated goods, but it is expensive. A better option would be to hire a specialist company.
Refrigerated transport is a specialized industry with stringent requirements for both the vehicle and the insulation. Converting an old van is likely to be cheaper than buying a new one that meets all the requirements, but it will still be an investment. You need to make sure that your van has adequate insulation and that the refrigeration unit is properly sealed so that no cold air leaks out.
If you are not confident about doing the conversion yourself, or if you don’t have the time or equipment, then it might be best to hire a specialist company instead.
