EUROFOS, France's largest terminal at the port of Fos near Marseilles, will receive 12 Cargotec electric straddle carriers in February.
The new electric straddle carriers will expand and partly replace the terminal's existing fleet of Kalmar and Sisu equipment, said a statement from the manufacturer.
The straddle carriers are capable of stacking 40-ton containers three high and comply with the latest exhaust emission regulations.
Eurofos CEO Nicolas Gauthier said: "The new electric straddle carriers will help us cut fuel and maintenance costs, and provide our employees with an even safer and more comfortable working environment.
"Expanding and renewing our fleet with the best solutions available is an important part of our plans for future growth and will ensure we can continue to provide customers with good productivity and high service quality."
The order also includes Kalmar's SmartFleet process automation, which improves port operational transparency and reduces downtime through real-time analysis of on-board performance data, predictive maintenance capability and remote maintenance analysis.
