Port of Virginia confirms another order of Kalmar eco-efficient hybrid shuttle carriers

Kalmar, part of Cargotec, will supply 11 hybrid shuttle carriers to the Port of Virginia in the United States, after the sixth consecutive order of hybrid shuttle carriers from the US port to the Finnish port equipment manufacturer.

The delivery of the machines is scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2023, while all the units will be delivered to Virginia International Gateway (VIG).

The Port of Virginia has been using Kalmar Hybrid Shuttle Carriers since August 2015. With this order, the port will have a total of 103 Kalmar Hybrid Shuttle Carriers in operation between its two terminals.

As a step towards the Port of Virginia’s commitment to Net-Zero Carbon Emissions by 2040, the new units will directly replace the Kalmar diesel-hydraulic shuttle carriers that were delivered during the terminal’s opening in 2007.

“The Port of Virginia has already surpassed a 32% reduction in CO2 emissions since 2017, which is largely due to the long term strategic decision to transition the shuttle carrier fleet to Kalmar hybrids,” said Rich Ceci, senior vice president of technology and projects at Port of Virginia.
