Plug-in port: Brazilian Port of Santos electrifies DP World terminal
Reported byElectrek ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
DP World is deploying 15 battery-electric terminal trucks and three electric reach stackers at Brazil's Port of Santos, with 44 electric terminal tractors, three electric reach stackers, four electric quay cranes, and 15 rubber-tired gantry cranes scheduled for delivery by end of 2027. At a related Peru facility, diesel consumption declined 29.2% between January–April 2026 compared to 2024 average, with carbon emissions reduction exceeding 500 tons.
This is the first phase of a broader modernization; full fleet electrification depends on completing deliveries through 2027.
