Kalmar has concluded an agreement with long-term customer DP World Southampton to supply another 14 hybrid straddle carriers.
The order was booked in Kalmar’s Q2 2024 intake, with delivery scheduled for Q2 2025.
DP World Southampton has been operating Kalmar straddle carriers since 2007. This order will bring the total number of units at the terminal to 82. Being hybrid machines means a reduction of both fuel consumption and CO2 emissions during operations, compared to traditional diesel-powered equipment, plus also generating less noise.
The units operated at Southampton are powered by hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), a biofuel made from 100% renewable raw material.
