DP World returns to Kalmar for more hybrid strads

OEMs continue to make progress with battery-powered machines and alternative fuels as more ports in the US line up for government incentives for low and zero emissions equipment.

Kalmar will supply four Eco reachstackers to Groupe Combronde, with deliveries in Q1 2025 and Q1 2026 for the Prestalog intermodal terminal near Lyon.

Canada’s supply chain is under severe strain as ports in British Columbia brace for a strike on Monday, while Montreal is already experiencing disruptions due to ongoing labour actions.

Kalmar CEO Sami Niiranen says demand has been stable over the past five quarters ranging at € 400m per quarter.

Taking on board industry feedback BOXBAY has developed new configurations for different terminal layouts and requirements.

Hutchison Ports ECT Rotterdam received 10 new Kalmar straddle carriers, including electric and hybrid machines, as part of its 2035 net-zero emissions goal.
