State Enterprise “USIE ISOTOP” Continues to Upgrade Its Fleet with Specialized Vehicles.

In order to ensure compliance with the highest standards of nuclear and radiation safety, preserve the quality of pharmaceutical products, and comply with licensing requirements for the transportation and storage of radioactive pharmaceuticals, the enterprise has procurred two specialized vehicles:

ZSO FRA-N2-D70, manufactured on the IVECO Daily 70C18H V platform, is a refrigerated van equipped with a thermal capsule and two biological shielding screens to protect drivers and the environment from ionizing radiation exposure. It also features a modern refrigeration unit. The cooling equipment can operate both from the vehicle’s generator and from a 220V power supply when parked, ensuring the stable temperature conditions even when the vehicle is at a complete stop.

ZSO FRA-N2-RM06, manufactured on the Renault Master L4H1 platform, is a refrigerated van with a cooling unit and an isothermal body. It is equipped with a fixed biological shielding screen, securing straps, and wall-mounted rings for cargo fastening.

This fleet upgrade is an important step toward delivering high-quality specialized services that require a professional approach, skilled personnel, and state-of-the-art technical equipment.

The safe transportation is about caring for people, the environment, and the future!
