Cargotec has agreed to launch a hydraulic hybrid terminal tractor that was developed by Singapore Technologies Kinetics (ST Kinetics).
The ST Kinetics' hyPOWER Hybrid Hydraulic Drive was incorporated into Cargotec¡¯s Kalmar terminal tractor for a trial with PSA Singapore Terminals.
Mikko Vuojolainen, VP, terminal tractors, Cargotec, said: "Since the beginning of prototype integration for our Kalmar terminal tractor, we have been very excited to assist in this effort."
"The first Kalmar terminal tractor with a hybrid capability was delivered to Singapore for field testing in October and has performed well."
"The hybrid package recovers braking energy and releases it during acceleration thus reducing fuel consumption and emissions by approximately 15%."
