DP World Europe, in collaboration with APM Terminals, has released a groundbreaking whitepaper titled 'Reaching a Tipping Point in Battery-Electric Container Handling Equipment.' The findings, to be presented at COP28 in Dubai, emphasize the urgent need for electrifying Container Handling Equipment (CHE) in global ports to achieve sustainability goals. The report underscores the impact of electrification on reducing carbon emissions, improving efficiency, and fostering economic sustainability. European ports, exemplified by Southampton and London Gateway, showcase the potential for electrification, leading to cleaner operations and cost savings. The whitepaper argues for industry-wide collaboration, standardization, and collective investment to make electrification a global norm, ensuring a just transition to a more sustainable and efficient future.
