Patrick Terminals - BEV Terminal Trucks at Fremantle Port
Summary
It has a decarbonisation plan which focuses on three key priority areas of fleet modernisation, a transition to renewable energy and influencing intermodal (rail and road capacity and efficiency). The Project represents the first heavy BEV deployment for 24/7 container terminal operations in Australia. The BEV TTs will be deployed to transfer cargo between quay cranes and stacking areas within the terminal.The objectives for the Project will be achieved through the following outcomes: None Demonstrating that BEVs can be integrated as a significant percentage of the TT fleet in 24/7 container terminal operations. None Analysing the impact on charging loads and patterns to inform the case for alternative energy pricing models. None Building the market confidence around the reliability of the new technology, energy costs and other operating metrics through knowledge sharing activities.Key insights from the deployment of the technology as part of the Project may be applicable across a range of freight handling vehicles in ports and broader logistics applications across Australia.
