Growing orders for greener spreaders

The largest of these orders will go to Khalifa in Abu Dhabi and Terminal Catalunya in Spain.

It appears that larger customers are on the look-out for greener product solutions.

Bromma’s all-electric yard spreaders reduce emissions at ports – the company say that reduction in emissions from a single one of these spreaders is equivalent to the emissions produced from driving a Volvo sedan around the world 42 times.

Bromma vice-president Lars Meurling said: “Bromma spreaders are widely recognised to be the greenest spreaders in the world, and many customers appreciate the environmental benefits. Yet, the great thing is that these green spreaders also produce cost savings. They reduce spreader energy consumption by 90%. There are fewer service points. No hoses to replace. No oil to leak. A 60% reduction in spreader maintenance cost. They are lighter, so a saving of 30,000 Euros in lifetime diesel fuel expense. They are green and they cost less to operate. So this is really a win-win for automated terminal customers”.
