How much can you save in emissions?
Eco-efficient horizontal transport solutions are gaining ground as terminal operators seek ways to cut their fuel consumption and emissions and strengthen their sustainability credentials. Hybrid straddle and shuttle carriers are rapidly becoming the default choice for terminals investing in refreshing their equipment fleet.
Time to power up with Kalmar?
Kalmar hybrid straddle and shuttle carriers can cut fuel consumption by as much as 40% and CO2 emissions by up to 50 tons per year compared to diesel-powered machines. What’s more, some of the industry’s sustainability pioneers, including DP World, are powering up to full electrification with Kalmar FastCharge™ for horizontal transportation.
“Operating sustainably and minimising our impact on the environment is extremely important to us here at London Gateway. This is why we chose to partner with Kalmar to convert one of our shuttles to fully electric operation.” – Ahsan Agha, Head of Engineering, DP World London Gateway. “DP World consciously chooses this technology as a sustainable investment in the future. The partnership with Kalmar helps us to reduce our carbon footprint." – Suzanne Kwanten, HSSE Director, DP World Antwerp.
