Gaussin provides Bolloré Ports CIT with new equipment

The French technology company Gaussin has started the delivery of 36 APM 75T Hot Environment (HE) electric tractors, 24 Powerpacks LMP and six charging stations to equip Bolloré Ports’ Côte d’Ivoire Terminal (CIT) in the Port of Abidjan.

This order, which represents a turnover of US$10.8 million and is scheduled for full delivery in the first half of the current year, is the largest since the launch of the APM 75T HE, a 100% electric tractor designed to transport containers in ports.

“Our partnership with the Bolloré Group remains a strategic pillar of Gaussin’s strategy and I am delighted with the development prospects underway,” commented Christophe Gaussin, CEO of Gaussin.

The framework agreement was signed in March 2019 with preferential rights valid until 31 December 2025, with Unicaf, Bolloré Group’s central purchasing unit, for the electric APM 75T HE, equipped with the Powerback LMP from Blue Solutions.

The agreement has resulted in three orders for the ports of Abidjan on the Ivory Coast and Freetown in Sierra Leone, while discussions are underway for new orders in 2022 for other ports operated by Bolloré Ports.
