The move sees Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP), a joint venture between MMC Group and APM Terminals, sign an agreement with Terberg Tractors Malaysia to introduce electric prime movers for horizontal container transport.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis decision reflects more than a step-up in fleet capability\u2026 it demonstrates our ability to deliver results that matter for our customers, our people and the world we share,\u201d said Tan Sri Che Khalib Mohamad Noh, chairman, PTP.<\/p>\n
\u201dPTP has long been on an ambitious decarbonisation journey, recognising that it is essential for a sustainable future for the port and the wider maritime industry. Our roadmap targets a 45 percent reduction in carbon emissions by 2030, based on a 2021 baseline.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fleet renewal<\/strong><\/p>\n The first batch of tractors forms part of a wider 94-unit fleet renewal programme and will be delivered in 2026, with maintenance support provided over 24 months.<\/p>\n Proof-of-concept trials show each electric prime mover generates 4,000 kgCO\u2082eq per month, compared with 7,600 kgCO\u2082eq for conventional units, delivering a 48 percent emissions reduction and cutting monthly operating costs by 57 percent.<\/p>\n PTP has also deployed electric small forklifts and participates in international initiatives including IMO GreenVoyage2050 and bilateral cooperation with the Port of Melbourne.<\/p>\n Mark Hardiman, chief executive PTP, said the investment aligns sustainability with capacity growth, supporting plans to raise annual throughput to around 16 million teu.<\/p>\n PTP recently surpassed 13 million teu in a single year and was rated by Alphaliner as the world\u2019s fastest-growing port, underlining how fleet electrification is reinforcing both performance and decarbonisation at Malaysia\u2019s busiest transshipment hub.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Malaysia\u2019s Port of Tanjung Pelepas is electrifying its prime mover fleet, ordering 52 electric terminal tractors to cut emissions, lower costs and support long-term sustainable port growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":5973,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[42,22],"tags":[18,1648,2416,23,1861,48,569],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-5972","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-asia-greenport","category-products-services-greenport","tag-apm-terminals","tag-electric-terminal-tractor","tag-mmc-group","tag-port-equipment","tag-port-of-tanjung-pelepas","tag-shorepower-electrification","tag-terberg"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5972","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=5972"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5972\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5974,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5972\/revisions\/5974"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5972"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5972"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5972"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=5972"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
