FLAGSHIP terminal of International Container Terminal Services, Inc (ICTSI), Manila International Container Terminal (MICT), recently deployed two fully electric terminal tractors - the first deployment of such equipment in a Philippine port.
Christian Lozano, MICT chief executive officer, said the deployment is part of ongoing efforts to adopt more sustainable technologies: 'The testing of electric terminal tractors is another step toward modernising our operations with sustainability in mind. It supports our broader goal of transitioning the MICT into a green port.'
The MICT is piloting the use of electric vehicles to help improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions in its port operations. The e effort supports ICTSI's environmental strategy and commitment to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
'The company is gradually introducing cleaner energy and equipment across its global terminals,' the company said in a statement.
The two Qomolo E-truck S2 units were manufactured by Shanghai Westwell Technology Co, Ltd.
MICT received the Green Port Award from the APEC Port Services Network in 2023 for its environmental initiatives. The introduction of electric tractors adds to those efforts.
The units will be assessed for performance before wider deployment.
