# Vaccine Transportation Systems This Clever Device is Set to Revolutionize the Way We Move Vaccines By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2015-08-10 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaccine-transportation References: [magazine.good.is](http://magazine.good.is/articles/fifteen-year-old-vaccine-transportation-invention) & [googlesciencefair](https://www.googlesciencefair.com/projects/en/2015/f60386d7873cea1268af4c76f086331c920b325140bba44ded9d0c9007aaec38) 'VAXXWAGON' is a vaccine transportation system that ensures medicine stays at its requisite temperature throughout the duration of a trip abroad. In many parts of the world, vaccines go unused because they lose their potency over the course of long transportation periods. This new system helps to overcome some of the [logistical challenges involved in transporting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realtime-tracking-solution) inoculations. The new vaccine transportation system was designed by 15-year-old inventor, Anurudh Ganesan. Ganesan's system is composed of a high-tech [vapor compression refrigeration unit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amity) that requires very little power to operate. The VAXXWAGON system is designed to maintain an internal temperature that falls in the range of two to eight degrees Celsius. This innovative refrigeration unit helps to ensure that the medicine inside will maintain its potency for the duration of a trip. While VAXXWAGON is currently just a prototype, the life-saving system may help to prevent the 1.5 million annual deaths associated with a lack of access to inoculations. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Vaccine Transportation Systems:** The development of innovative vaccine transportation systems that maintain the potency of vaccines during long transportation periods. - **High-tech Vapor Compression Refrigeration:** The use of high-tech vapor compression refrigeration units to ensure the temperature control of vaccines during transportation. - **Logistical Challenges in Vaccine Transportation:** Finding solutions to overcome the logistical challenges involved in transporting vaccines, such as maintaining the required temperature range. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Medical Devices:** Opportunity for medical device manufacturers to create innovative vaccine transportation systems that revolutionize the transportation of medicine. - **Pharmaceuticals:** The pharmaceutical industry has an opportunity to invest in research and development of high-tech refrigeration units specifically designed for vaccine transportation. - **Global Logistics:** Opportunity for logistics companies to create specialized transportation solutions for vaccines that ensure the required temperature range is maintained throughout the trip. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stable Temperature-Maintaining Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invensify.md) - [Revolutionary Life-Saving Medication Storage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifesaving-medication.md) - [Frozen Active Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/csafe-1.md) - [Frozen Food Transportation Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-transportation.md) - [Connected Temperature-Controlled Shipping Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ember-cube.md) - [Food Chain Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-chain-tech.md) - [Pharmaceutical Shipping Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celsure-xl-vip-pallets.md) - [Temp-Controlled Smart Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tower-cold-chain.md) - [Cellular Transport Freeze Techniques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cellular-transport.md)
