卡尔玛混合动力RTG为阿根廷Exolgan集装箱码头带来生态效益
卡尔玛新闻摘要，2019年1月17日
卡尔玛与Exolgan公司签订合约，提供4台混合动力轮胎式龙门起重机（RTG）和一套设备零件包支持其位于阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯的集装箱码头。此项订单已录入卡哥特科2018年第四季度订单，计划于2019年年末进行交付。
布宜诺斯艾利斯Exolgan码头隶属于港口和物流管理商ITL（国际贸易物流）公司，是综合性的货物和集装箱装卸码头，拥有战略性的公路、铁路、河流交通网。作为阿根廷领先的港口运营商，Exolgan码头负责处理阿根廷1/3的外贸集装箱。Exolgan码头现有卡尔玛车队包括RTG、空箱堆高机、叉车和正面吊，新交付的卡尔玛混合动力RTG将进一步扩大车队。
卡尔玛混合动力RTG基于上一代车型成熟、可持续的性能打造，更低油耗、废气排放、噪音和维护成本。设备结合最新的锂电池技术和节能型柴油动力装置，后者可为锂电池充电，从而为设备所有的起升和驾驶操作提供动力。
Exolgan工程经理Carlos Mancini表示：“卡尔玛混合动力RTG将帮助我们降低燃油成本，并通过降低噪音和废气排放来提高码头运营的可持续性，是我们的理想选择。我们十分重视与卡尔玛的合作关系，期待通过双方的共同协作提高码头的生产力和稳定性。”
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has signed an agreement with Exolgan S.A. to supply a total of four rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTGs) with hybrid drivelines for its container terminal in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The order, which also includes the supply of a spare parts package for the machines, was booked in Cargotec's 2018 Q4 order intake with delivery scheduled to take place in late 2019.
The Exolgan terminal in Buenos Aires is a general cargo and container-handling port terminal with strategic road, rail and river transport connections. As the leading port operator in Argentina, Exolgan handles one third of the country's total foreign trade container volume. The company is part of ITL (International Trade Logistics), a group of businesses specialised in managing port and logistics processes. The Kalmar Hybrid RTGs form part of Exolgan's fleet expansion programme. Exolgan's current Kalmar fleet includes RTGs, empty container handlers, forklift trucks and reachstackers.
The Kalmar Hybrid RTG builds on the proven, sustainable performance of the previous-generation model to deliver even greater savings in fuel efficiency, airborne and noise emissions, and maintenance costs. It combines the latest lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery technology with a fuel-efficient diesel power unit. The power unit is used to charge the Li-ion batteries, which power all the lifting and driving operations.
Carlos Mancini, Engineering Manager, Exolgan: "Kalmar's Hybrid RTG solution was the ideal choice for us since it will both help us reduce fuel costs and improve the sustainability of our operations by reducing noise and airborne emissions. We value our relationship with Kalmar and are looking forward to working together to increase performance and reliability at our terminal."
Alexandre Esse, Manager, Sales, Ports & Terminals, Americas, Kalmar: "Our second-generation hybrid RTG is a highly fuel-efficient machine that makes no compromises on performance or sustainability. We are pleased to be able to continue our fruitful cooperation with Exolgan with this latest order, which further demonstrates the confidence that customers have in our hybrid technologies."
The cranes delivered to Exolgan will be 6+1 rows wide and 1-over-5 high, with a lifting capacity of 40 tons under the spreader. They will be fitted with the Kalmar SmartRail automated gantry steering solution with Container Position Indication (CPI), which automatically controls the gantry steering and feeds container coordinates to the terminal operating system. They will also feature the Kalmar SmartProfile spreader anti-collision system.
