Hybrid straddle & shuttle carriers
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has introduced what is claimed to be the world’s first real hybrid straddle and shuttle carriers consuming up to 40% less fuel than existing machinery.
In addition to offering high levels of fuel efficiency, the new hybrid models meet the tightest engine emission regulations, reducing the carbon dioxide emissions by over 50t per year compared to a traditional diesel-electric machine.
A regenerative energy system converts electrical braking and spreader lowering energy into electric power that is stored by means of the latest battery technology.
