ZPMC throws weight behind power regeneration
US-based VYCON has teamed up with crane manufacturer ZPMC to offer energy storage flywheel systems as a standard option to customers.
ZPMC plans to “validate” the power regeneration system on selected new rubber-tyred gantry crane projects before promoting the product with their customers.
Said Tony Aoun, president and chief executive of VYCON: “Port operators are actively seeking lower fuel consumption cranes to offset the rising costs of diesel fuel and to minimise emissions. Evident by their significant market share, port operators are trusting ZPMC with their new crane purchases. We at VYCON will be very pleased to become a standard option on ZPMC’s products.”
