DP World wants to minimise its impact on the environment and the new straddle carriers will be a significant factor in meeting this goal.<\/p>\n
With hybrid technology, the fuel consumption of the straddle carrier can be decreased by up to 40% and the annual CO2 emissions by over 50 tonnes per unit compared to traditional machines. In addition, the hybrid start\/stop function will much lower noise emissions.<\/p>\n
Jef Lambregts, technical manager, DP World Antwerp Gateway, said: “Kalmar’s hybrid straddle carriers offer significant reductions in fuel consumption and emissions, meaning they perfectly complement our environmental goals. These new machines will help us take a big step forward in terms of minimising the terminal’s environmental impact and improving the energy efficiency of our operations.”<\/p>\n
The innovative regenerative energy system of the Kalmar Hybrid Straddle Carriers converts braking and spreader-lowering energy into electrical power and stores it in a state-of-the-art on-board battery system.<\/p>\n
Kalmar and DP World have a long and distinguished relationship, with the Antwerp Gateway container terminal already operating six Kalmar STS cranes and 18 Kalmar straddle carriers.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Kalmar has also secured a Gloria reachstacker order and maintenance contract for the Genoa based Italian ro-ro and shipper, the Messina Group.<\/p>\n
Each of the nine Kalmar Gloria DRG450 reachstackers have innovative features like the eco drive modes, and the Kalmar SmartFleet remote monitoring and reporting solution to help improve operational performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
