Kempower and APM Terminals sign agreement for charging infrastructure

Kempower and APM Terminals have signed a three-year framework agreement for the supply of fast-charging infrastructure.

Kempower and APM Terminals have signed a three-year framework agreement for the supply of direct current fast-charging infrastructure across APM Terminals’ global network of container terminals spanning 35 countries.

The agreement supports APM Terminals’ decarbonisation roadmap, which targets net-zero operations by 2040 through the transition from diesel-powered terminal equipment to battery-electric alternatives and the integration of renewable energy.

Under the framework, Kempower’s high-power charging infrastructure will be deployed across multiple terminals during the agreement period, with individual orders placed by APM Terminals according to its own investment plans and requirements.

The agreement does not include binding order volumes.

Three pilot projects have already commenced at APM Terminals Yucatán in Mexico, TM2 in Morocco and Callao in Peru, accommodating the first electric vehicles at those facilities.

Grant Morrison, Global Head of Asset Category Management at APM Terminals, described electrification as central to the company’s net-zero pathway, framing the Kempower partnership as a means of establishing consistent and scalable charging infrastructure across the terminal network to support both decarbonisation objectives and long-term operational sustainability.

Mathias Wiklund, Chief Sales Officer at Kempower, expressed the company’s commitment to supporting APM Terminals’ electrification roadmap and net-zero targets through robust and reliable charging technology designed to keep electric fleets operational and optimise terminal efficiency.
