Eight Kalmar Eco reachstackers will help two Italian container terminals reduce fuel consumption and emissions, without compromising efficiency.
The reachstackers will be deployed by PSA Italy at its Genova Pra’ and SECH container terminals and are scheduled for delivery during the second quarter of 2023.
“We are delighted to have this opportunity to strengthen our collaboration with PSA Italy and support them with reducing emissions at their Genoa terminals,” said Matteo Prefumo, deputy solution sales manager, Kalmar Italy.
”Eco reachstackers are helping to reduce CO2 emissions all over the world, proving that it is possible to improve productivity without increasing fuel consumption.”
Fleet optimisation
PSA Italy, Part of PSA International, operates two container terminals in the Port of Genoa – PSA Genova Pra’ and PSA SECH – and one in the Port of Venice. Together these handles approximately two million containers each year.
“We are constantly optimising our equipment fleet to improve fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions as part of our group’s ambitious sustainability targets and to keep the greenhouse gas reduction commitments that we have made to the City of Genoa and its institutions. The new reachstackers are another step in the right direction,” said Roberto Ferrari, CEO of PSA Italy.
The machines delivered to PSA Italy will come with a fuel saving guarantee, which improves financial predictability through an agreed and fixed level of fuel consumption based on the cargo handling drive cycle.
They will also include Kalmar Insight, a performance management tool that turns data into actionable, impactful insights, plus a variety of add-on safety features including a fire-suppression system.
