ecological and energy transition, event : At Le Havre, GMP continues its ecological transition with new hybrid straddle carriers
Published on
In 2024, an order for 26 hybrid straddle carriers was ordered by GMP, which has just taken delivery of a first series of 13 units. Delivered to the Terminal de l’Europe in Le Havre on Sunday 6 April by Kalmar, these vehicles are contributing to the company's low-carbon strategy, while improving the flow and safety of goods through its terminals.
Equipped with a 100% hybrid engine, these straddle carriers reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions, while improving driver safety and comfort. Their redesigned cabs and reduced noise levels contribute to optimised working conditions.
This €45 million investment, which follows the delivery of 12 units in 2023, is part of GMP's overall green transition strategy. Eventually, at a total cost of €65 million, the company will have a fleet of 2/3-motor vehicles powered by 100% hybrids, boosting both its productivity and its efforts to reduce its carbon footprint.
