Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has secured an order for nine diesel-electric straddle carriers from the leading European port and transport logistics group Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA).

The order was booked in Cargotec's 2016 first quarter order intake, with delivery taking place during the fourth quarter of 2016.

Jens Hansen, Managing Director of Container Terminal Burchardkai, said: “These new fuel-efficient Kalmar straddle carriers support our goals to cut both operating costs and exhaust emissions at the terminal.

“Importantly, with their quiet operation they also set a new benchmark in terms of noise emissions, which will help us further reduce our impact on the surrounding environment and comply with stricter new regulations.
