SWISS WorldCargo is one of the first carriers to soon launch the Releye® RAP container for their operations and to add it to their portfolio. This complements our close collaboration and caters to the previous generation of Envirotainer containers. Further, it’s the focus of both organizations to contribute towards their ambition on sustainability and offering various initiatives towards their offering of a more sustainable operation and transparency for their customers. The Releye® RAP sets a new benchmark for temperature-controlled 5-pallet solutions. The largest of the new generation Releye® containers, the RAP is the only one of its type in the world, combining big capacity with superior features.
Designed to meet the strictest requirements in pharmaceutical air freight, the integrated live monitoring enables a unique insight into product condition, location and progress of the shipment. With its increased efficiency and capacity, it reaches outstanding CO2 reductions per shipment and is the future solution for secure cold chain shipments. All monitored and maintained with the new service Control Tower.
The Releye® RAP is the second in a family of advanced temperature-controlled air freight containers. It joins the 3-pallet Releye® RLP launched in 2021. The foundation of the Releye® platform are the five pillars: Control, Monitoring, Autonomy, Value and Sustainability.
“When we now launch our latest member of the Releye® family, the RAP, it’s with great pleasure that we today also announce SWISS being one of the first carriers to shortly complete their approval of the Releye® RAP. We have always valued our close cooperation with SWISS, especially as SWISS, a premium carrier and operating from the heart of the European pharma region, are well-known for their expertise in pharma shipments.”, says Peter Gisel-Ekdahl, CEO at Envirotainer.
“We really appreciate our close partnership with Envirotainer and are proud to be at the forefront to soon operate the new Envirotainer Releye® RAP and to welcoming it into our temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals solutions portfolio,” said Lorenzo Stoll, Head of Cargo at SWISS International Air Lines. “The Releye® RAP sets a new benchmark for temperature-controlled 5-pallet solutions, it combines newest technology and reaches outstanding CO2 reductions per shipment. This fully aligns with our own focus on sustainable offering and continued reduction of the carbon footprint.”
