The Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) recently deployed two fully electric terminal tractors – the first deployment of such equipment in a Philippine port.<\/p>\n The MICT is piloting the use of electric vehicles to help improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions.<\/p>\n The two Qomolo E-truck S2 units were manufactured by Shanghai Westwell Technology. Powered by lithium iron phosphate batteries, the tractors have a rated motor power of 263kW and a peak output of 410kW. They operate with zero emissions.<\/p>\n The units will be assessed for performance before wider deployment.<\/p>\n In 1988, International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) won the 25 + 25 years concession to operate the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) in an international tender. Since ICTSI\u2019s takeover, MICT has increased its annual capacity five-fold, expanded its container handling fleet to make it the largest and most modern container terminal in the Philippines, and switched from a manual control system to an integrated real-time IT terminal control system.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n maritime professional<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
