APM Terminals and SANY Marine have signed a Master Framework Agreement for the future supply of battery-electric terminal tractors to APM Terminals, marking a significant step in the company’s decarbonisation strategy.
Under the agreement, about 500 diesel-powered terminal tractors across APM Terminals’ global network will be replaced with battery-electric models by 2030. This transition is part of a standardised approach to electrifying terminal equipment, reinforcing APM Terminals’ commitment to decarbonisation.
