How Are Emerging Trends Reshaping The Dynamics Of The Terminal Tractor Market?
Leading enterprises in the terminal tractor market are concentrating on devising creative solutions such as electric terminal tractors to improve the level of efficiency and sustainability. Essentially, electric terminal tractors are vehicles specially engineered to transport trailers and containers in terminals or logistic yards and they are entirely driven by electric motors which helps to reduce emissions and operations cost. As a case in point, Terberg Tractors Malaysia Sdn Bhd (TTM), an autonomous terminal truck manufacturing company based in Malaysia, unveiled the YT200EV full-on electric terminal tractor in December 2022. This YT200EV terminal tractor is furnished with 350 kWh lithium-ion phosphate (LFP) batteries that offer ongoing operation for a maximum of 10 hours (in the context of container port operation) and can be completely charged within sixty minutes. The vehicle is also equipped with a 240 kW asynchronous water-cooled motor drive that delivers adequate torque to manage a payload of up to 90 tons. This makes it more proficient and cost-effective compared with diesel tractors.
