There are already 100 Sany empty container handlers and 40 Sany reach stackers with electric drives in use in China and Southeast Asia. Jürgen Keller, Product Manager, Sany Europe, believes that electrical equipment will play a major role in the EU's ambitious target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030. "Many customers are aware that in order to significantly reduce CO 2 emissions in their fleet by 2030 and meet EU standards for reduced emissions, they will soon have to adjust their machine purchases. In the next six to twelve months, I expect more debates on this at the customer level," keller said.
Sany is aware that charging is one of the main obstacles that electric Powered machines must prevail. It is clear that operators strive for maximum their operating time. Sany advises using smart charging techniques, such as installing charging stations in the canteen room so that the batteries charged there while the operator takes a coffee break.
Sany offers a hybrid reach stacker in addition to machines that are fully electrically powered. The two drive types are an internal combustion engine and a straightforward hydropneumatic actuation helps reduce emissions by 20%. The use of biofuels is another choice. Any Sany mobile port equipment with a Stage V motor can operate on both biofuels and regular fuels.
