And any cargo container that requires stricter temperature tolerances itself be better insulated and refrigerated. That’s already how standard containers pulled by 18-wheelers operate.



OP's point with refrigerated containers is that they are large sources of heat (since creating a cold volume heats up the external volume by a larger amount), not that they are more vulnerable to heat in the tunnel.


Only if they run their heat pumps inside the tunnel.

If they pre-chill and coast through the tunnel they'd extract heat.

Overall it seems like a non problem with many solutions if any are actually needed.
