A vehicle for transporting boxes in a loading volume, the boxes being stacked on at least one trolley with wheels, engaging with at least one guide rail attached to the floor to guide the movement of said trolley. The vehicle has at least one device exerting a horizontal force on a row of boxes placed on at least one trolley to move them towards an opening of the vehicle. The vehicle furthermore has at least one roof bar holding, at the upper portion, at least one stack of boxes placed on a trolley. The presence of a roof bar ensures that the boxes are properly held in the loading volume, thus preventing breakage during transportation.

1. A vehicle for transporting boxes in a loading volume, said boxes being stacked on at least one trolley with wheels, wherein the vehicle comprises: at least one guide rail attached to the floor and engageable with the at least one trolley to guide movement of said trolley,at least one device exerting a horizontal force on a row of boxes placed on at least one trolley to move the row of boxes towards an opening of the vehicle;at least one roof bar holding, at an upper portion, at least one stack of boxes placed on a trolley;at least one stabilizer bar attached horizontally on the length of at least one internal wall of the loading volume, the boxes having at least one longitudinal sill extending on the side and on the top, the stabilizer bar hooking said sill by the top. 2. The vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the at least one roof bar is configured to block a stack of empty boxes nested within one another, the distance between the floor of the vehicle and said roof bar being slightly greater than the sum of the heights of a trolley and a determined number of empty boxes placed on top of one another. 3. The vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the boxes have a lid and the at least one roof bar is configured to block a stack of empty boxes placed on one another with the lid closed, the distance between the floor of the vehicle and said roof bar being slightly greater than the sum of the heights of a trolley and a determined number of empty boxes placed on top of one another with the lid closed. 4. The vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the boxes have a lid and the at least one stabilizer bar hooks the boxes placed on top of one another with the closed lid, the height of the stabilizer bar being situated at a height equal to the sum of the heights of a trolley and a determined number of boxes placed on top of one another with the lid closed. 5. The vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the device exerting a horizontal force on a row of boxes placed on at least one trolley comprises a mobile stopper sliding in a guide rail attached to the floor of the loading volume and coming into contact with a trolley or a box placed on the trolley, said mobile stopper moving by using a strap towards an opening of the vehicle. 6. The vehicle according to claim 5, wherein the vehicle comprises elements blocking said strap in proximity to the opening in order to keep the strap under tension along a direction longitudinal to the vehicle when said mobile stopper comes into contact with a trolley or a box placed on the trolley, which itself abuts against a fixed stopper present in proximity to the opening of the vehicle. 7. The vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the loading volume comprises at least two guide rails to guide the wheels either to the left or to the right of two rows of trolleys. 8. The vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the vehicle comprises an access ramp placed in a rear of the vehicle in order to extend a floor of the vehicle up to the loading bay, said access ramp comprising straight elements extending to the at least one guide rail present in the loading volume. 9. The vehicle according to claim 8, wherein the loading volume comprises two parts having floors at different heights, said access ramp being constituted by two platforms, each platform getting placed on each floor of the two parts of the loading volume and getting extended to get placed on the loading bay, the two platforms having different slopes to compensate for the difference in height between floors. 10. The vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the vehicle comprises a compartment at ambient temperature containing a plurality of rows of boxes, one chilled compartment containing a single row of boxes, said chilled compartment having a height lower than the height of the compartment at ambient temperature, and a drawer placed on top of the chilled compartment, the contents of which are accessible by pulling the drawer towards the rear of the vehicle. 11. A method comprising: unloading a vehicle transporting boxes in a loading volume, said boxes being stacked on at least one trolley with wheels, wherein the vehicle comprises:at least one guide rail attached to the floor and engageable with the at least one trolley to guide movement of said trolley;at least one device exerting a horizontal force on a row of boxes placed on at least one trolley to move the row of boxes towards an opening of the vehicle;at least one roof bar holding, at an upper portion, at least one stack of boxes placed on a trolley;at least one stabilizer bar attached horizontally on the length of at least one internal wall of the loading volume, the boxes having at least one longitudinal sill extending on the side and on the top, the stabilizer bar hooking said sill by the top; anda rear door giving access to a rear of the row of boxes and a lateral door giving access to a front of the rows of boxes, wherein unloading comprises unloading at least one stack of full boxes through the rear of the vehicle, moving at least one row of boxes towards the rear by at least the length of a stack and introducing empty boxes through the side door to place them at the position thus released in front of the moved row. 12. The method for unloading a vehicle according to claim 11, wherein the empty boxes are nested into one another, forming a stack having a number of boxes at least equal to twice the number of full boxes in a stack, the row of empty boxes being placed so that the row straddles the guide rails of two rows of full boxes and the stacks of empty boxes being held by the roof bar.
