APM Terminals has made the decision to incentivise haulage firms to run their vehicle fleets more sustainably and ensure a more efficient passage through the terminal \u2013 important for electric vehicles with limited ranges.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re seeing more and more haulage firms starting to electrify parts of their vehicle fleets, and we know that more are considering investing in a green transition of heavy goods traffic,\u201d said Brian Bitsch, commercial manager at APM Terminals Gothenburg.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope that supporting these initiatives by offering the fastest possible passage and handling will serve as an incentive and be one small step along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Around 1,000 trucks pass through APM Terminals Gothenburg daily but only a small fraction is electric. This is set to change when logistics company DFDS begins deploying 20 electric trucks on 3 March. Similarly Sweden\u2019s biggest road container transporter, Skarasl\u00e4ttens Transport, recently added three electric trucks to its fleet at the terminal, with plans for two more in May.<\/p>\n
Including APM Terminals\u2019 priority measures, there are now three terminals that have a priority system in place for electric trucks. Between them these terminals handle around 90% of the port\u2019s total truck flows. The other two are operated by Gothenburg Roro Terminal and Stena Line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
