卡尔玛新闻摘要，2018年9月28日
卡尔玛与DP World南安普敦港口签订合同，为其提供12台混合动力跨运车。南安普敦合同还包含设备维护，驾驶员培训和六个月的现场维护支持服务。此订单已录入卡哥特科2018年第三季度订单，计划于2019年第二季度完成交付。
DP World主题为“我们的世界，我们的未来”的全球可持续发展项目，其目标之一是承诺通过有责使用天然能源来保护环境并预防污染。卡尔玛新型混合动力跨运车将有助于实现这一目标。相较于传统柴油动力设备，混合动力技术能够有效地降低码头运营油耗和二氧化碳排放量，且噪音更小。
DP World 南安普敦的12台跨运车订单包括3台可堆垛3高、双箱起升能力达50吨和9台可堆垛4高、单箱起升能力达40吨的跨运车。12台新型设备均配有坚固的新型移动驱动系统，为匹配上部框架和吊具而全新打造的电气系统，更宽敞的电气驾驶室和标准化LED工作灯。
卡尔玛智能水平运输副总裁Mikko Mononen表示：“我们很高兴为DP World全球各地的码头提供支持。我们的跨运车将帮助DP World南安普敦港口达成环保目标，同时提高集装箱的搬运效率。卡尔玛FastCharge(TM)穿梭机解决方案在DP World 伦敦口岸已完成全电动化实验，而卡尔玛混合动力跨运车正是帮助南安普敦港口实现全电动化的最佳敲门砖。”
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has signed a contract with DP World Southampton to supply 12 hybrid straddle carriers for use at their container terminal. The Southampton agreement also includes maintenance and operator training as well as six months of on-site maintenance support. The order was booked in Cargotec's 2018 third quarter order intake, and delivery is scheduled for Q2 of 2019.
DP World Southampton is the UK port of choice for many global leaders in the container shipping industry. Thanks to its strategic location on the UK's south coast it is an ideal first or last port of call for container ships serving the Northern Europe-Far East trade routes.
One of the objectives of DP World's global "Our World, Our Future" sustainability programme is a commitment to protecting the environment through responsible use of natural resources and preventing pollution. The new Kalmar hybrid straddle carriers will help contribute to meeting this goal. Hybrid technology can significantly reduce both the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of a terminal's straddle carrier operations compared to using traditional diesel-powered machines. Hybrid machines also generate much less noise than their diesel counterparts.
The 12-machine order from DP World Southampton comprises three units with three-high stacking and a 50-ton twin-lift capacity and nine with four-high stacking and a 40-ton single-lift capacity. All 12 next-generation machines feature new robust mobile drives, a completely redesigned electrical system for the upper frame and spreader and a more spacious electric cabinet layout, as well as LED working lights as standard.
Nick Loader, UK Chief Operating Officer, DP World: "With this significant investment package on these new hybrid straddles we have achieved a significant milestone in investing in our environment and our future. We believe that working in a sustainable and responsible way is essential to building a strong business for our customers, our people and the community in which we operate."
Mikko Mononen, Vice President, Intelligent Horizontal Transportation, Kalmar: "We have been delighted to be able to support DP World at many of their terminals around the world. Our hybrid straddle carriers will help DP World Southampton achieve its environmental goals while boosting the efficiency of container moves at the same time. They are also an ideal stepping stone to fully electrically powered straddle operations, which are already being trialled at DP World London Gateway with our Kalmar FastCharge(TM) shuttle carrier solution."
