What part of that 85% usually transports stuff at -80C?

They have the manpower and logistics in place yes, but you still need special equipment keep it at temperature.

Equipment can be bought. Cooling containers are not only available for every mode of transportation, they are standard and people handle them daily, even for air freight.

Other Good news: The cold transport requirement has been a known requirement since beginning of development, for at least the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines. And the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines have been among the leading candidates since March.
