Kalmar has signed a six-year framework agreement with the Port of Helsingborg to supply electric reachstackers as the Swedish port continues to electrify its cargo-handling fleet.
The agreement covers the potential delivery of up to nine electric reachstackers.
The Port of Helsingborg is Sweden’s second-largest container port. It serves as a key hub for sea, road and rail transport.
The port has invested heavily in reducing emissions and improving energy efficiency. Electrifying cargo-handling equipment forms a central part of that strategy.
The terminal already operates one Kalmar electric reachstacker, which entered service in early 2024.
“This framework agreement represents an important step in our transition towards lower-emission terminal operations,” said Christina Argelius, Chief Technical Officer at the Port of Helsingborg.
She added that the agreement will allow the port to replace diesel-powered equipment gradually while supporting its long-term investment and energy plans.
Argelius also noted that electrification requires new charging infrastructure and technical expertise, making close cooperation with Kalmar increasingly important.
Eric Wass, Sales Representative at Kalmar Sweden, said electrification offers terminals a stable way to reduce emissions while improving operational efficiency as fuel costs continue to rise.
The agreement further strengthens the long-standing collaboration between Kalmar and the Port of Helsingborg as both companies continue to support the transition toward lower-emission port operations.
