TransTec World has ordered two Konecranes E-VER electric empty container handlers for its terminal in Panama, becoming the first operator in the Americas to adopt this technology. The investment is part of the company’s strategy to modernize its fleet with zero-emission equipment, aiming to reduce the environmental footprint of its logistics operations. The delivery is scheduled for the second quarter of 2025.
The E-VER machines are equipped with high-efficiency lithium-ion batteries that support fast charging during shifts, ensuring high productivity without the need for diesel fuel. By replacing internal combustion engines with electric drivetrains, TransTec World expects to significantly lower energy costs and reduce maintenance requirements. The units also feature advanced digitalization tools for real-time monitoring of performance and battery status.
This purchase aligns with TransTec World’s commitment to sustainable port operations and carbon neutrality. By integrating these electric handlers into their daily workflow, the terminal operator aims to decrease local noise pollution and eliminate exhaust emissions. The collaboration with Konecranes provides TransTec World with a scalable solution for future fleet electrification across its regional hubs.
