Konecranes wins hybrid RTG order at Port of Valencia

January 28, 2026

Konecranes has received a new order from CSP Iberian Valencia Terminal for six Konecranes hybrid Rubber-Tyred Gantry (RTG) cranes, supporting eco-efficient container handling at the Port of Valencia.

The order was booked in Q4 2025 and delivery is scheduled for December 2026.

This latest investment from CSP Iberian Valencia Terminal – its second RTG order with Konecranes in 2025 – forms part of its long-term modernisation programme to improve operational efficiency while reducing container-handling CO2 emissions.

The six new hybrid RTGs will operate alongside the terminal’s existing fleet of Konecranes equipment.

Fitted with Konecranes’ hybrid drive technology, the hybrid RTGs significantly reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions compared to conventional diesel-powered RTGs.

The cranes will also be equipped with Active Load Control (ALC), Gantry Collision Prevention and Truck Lift Prevention. These Konecranes Smart Features support safe and efficient container handling in demanding terminal environments.

Konecranes hybrid RTGs operate on onboard battery power, with a diesel generator used to recharge the batteries. Intelligent power management and regenerative braking is utilised to re-charge the batteries, reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

Over 3,000 Konecranes RTGs, including the hybrid models, have been delivered globally to date and taken into use around the world.

“Our relationship with Konecranes goes back many years, underpinned by the reliable performance of the RTG fleet already operating at our terminal,” said Gustavo Ferrer Soriano, General Manager at CSP Iberian Valencia.

“That track record gave us the confidence to invest in more Konecranes hybrid RTGs. The cranes are key in achieving our eco-efficiency targets, while maintaining high productivity and keeping maintenance costs under control.”

“Terminal operators are continuing to invest in hybrid solutions as they balance CO₂ emissions reductions with the need for operational efficiency,” said Darryn Scheepers, EMEA Sales Director, Port Solutions, Konecranes.

“Konecranes hybrid RTGs play an important role in helping terminals to reach their targets without disruptive changes to daily yard work.”

Last November, Konecranes launched its first electric reach stacker at the TOC Asia exhibition in Singapore, bolstering its portfolio of low- to zero-tailpipe-emission port equipment to meet increasing demand from port customers.
