This is the first terminal in Africa to receive and use the new technology dedicated to container transport.<\/p>\n<p>The silent APM HE is the first container transport solution that has been designed specifically for hot climates. It uses solid-state battery technology which is insensitive to variations in outdoor temperatures from -20\u00b0C to +60\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>The high power density LMP battery is designed and produced by Blue Solutions, a subsidiary of the Bollor\u00e9 Group.<\/p>\n<p>The solid electrolyte makes it extremely safe, with no risk of runaway heating.
