The focus is on the battery-electric container handlers that will replace diesel-powered vehicles and machinery in the coming years. According to Kempower, this agreement supports APM Terminals’ decarbonisation strategy.“We are honoured to be part of APM Terminal’s electrification roadmap and support them with their net zero targets. Kempower’s robust and reliable charging technology will support APM Terminals to keep their electric fleet on the move and optimise the operations,” said Kempower’s Chief Sales Officer Mathias Wiklund.The framework agreement does not yet specify order volumes. APM Terminals is the operator of container terminals in 35 countries and part of the A. P. Moller-Maersk Group. The port terminal operator will instead place individual orders with Kempower based on its investment plans and requirements. “Kempower discloses significant orders in accordance with the company’s disclosure policy once such orders have been confirmed,” stated the Finnish charging infrastructure provider.Under the agreement, Kempower charging systems will be installed at various APM Terminals locations over the next three years. The first three pilot projects have already been launched at APM Terminals Yucatán in Mexico, TM2 in Morocco, and Callao in Peru to support the deployment of the first electric vehicles in terminal operations.kempower.com
