DP World has deployed five electric internal transfer vehicles (eITVs) at Laem Chabang International Terminal in Thailand, marking the start of its fleet electrification programme, reported Saint Petersburg's PortNews.
The company said the first batch of eITVs is expected to cut carbon emissions by around 60 per cent compared with diesel-powered vehicles. It plans to fully convert the fleet to electric by 2030, reducing the terminal's overall carbon footprint by about 12 per cent from 2022 baseline levels.
Solar generation projects are also being implemented at the terminal, including at its Container Freight Station warehouse. These initiatives align with the Port Authority of Thailand's Green Port Strategy, which aims to transform Laem Chabang into a green port by 2030.
dp World said the eITVs will improve container transfer efficiency between vessels and the yard, helping reduce vessel turnaround times. Similar electrification measures have been adopted at other DP World terminals, including the Port of Brisbane in Australia and Manila South Harbour in the Philippines.
DP World is headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and operates as a multinational logistics provider with a portfolio that includes container terminals, marine services, logistics parks and economic zones.
Laem Chabang International Terminal (LCIT) is a container terminal within Laem Chabang Port, Thailand's largest deep-sea port. It forms part of the national maritime logistics hub and serves as a key gateway for regional and international trade.
