The trial at Container Terminal Tollerort features a Konecranes-built hydrogen-powered straddle carrier using a fuel cell drive that delivers zero emissions while matching the performance of hybrid systems. <\/p>\n
\u201cWith this pilot project, we are demonstrating that hydrogen drive systems represent a genuine alternative in the area of heavy-load operations,\u201d said Dr. Volker Windeck, Head of Hydrogen Projects at HHLA.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe technology matches the performance level of conventional drive systems and generates zero emissions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Modular power<\/strong><\/p>\n The carrier\u2019s modular power system allows easy adaptation for hybrid, battery, or hydrogen configurations, enabling flexible upgrades to port equipment as technology evolves.<\/p>\n Refuelled at a dedicated hydrogen station using a process similar to standard fueling, the vehicle is part of the Clean Port & Logistics (CPL) innovation cluster, which unites over 40 partners to speed adoption of alternative fuels.<\/p>\n HHLA and Konecranes said they are using the project to share operational insights and develop training modules, ensuring the skills base for hydrogen-powered port equipment grows alongside the technology.<\/p>\n Supported by three million euros in federal funding, the CPL cluster is testing concepts for refuelling, maintenance and supply that will help decarbonise port operations.<\/p>\n As part of its Balanced Logistics strategy, HHLA aims for climate neutrality by 2040, positioning hydrogen straddle carriers as a key solution for reducing port emissions and driving a cleaner logistics future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) is testing hydrogen straddle carriers to demonstrate that\u00a0hydrogen drive systems represent a genuine alternative in the area of heavy-load operation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":5732,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,34],"tags":[146,10,2299,215,23],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-5731","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alternative-fuels-greenport","category-europe-greenport","tag-hhla","tag-hydrogen","tag-hydrogen-straddle-carrier","tag-konecranes","tag-port-equipment"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5731","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5731"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5731\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5733,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5731\/revisions\/5733"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5732"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5731"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5731"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5731"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=5731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
