Kempower and APM Terminals have signed a three-year framework agreement covering the deployment of electric vehicle charging infrastructure across APM Terminals’ global network.
The agreement supports APM Terminals’ strategy to decarbonise port operations through increased use of battery-electric container handling equipment and renewable energy systems.
APM Terminals is part of Danish shipping and logistics group A. P. Moller – Maersk and operates container terminals in 35 countries.
Under the agreement, Kempower will supply high-power DC fast-charging infrastructure for deployment at selected terminals over the next three years.
The companies said initial pilot projects are already underway at terminals in Yucatán, Mexico, TM2 in Morocco and Callao in Peru.
The charging systems are intended to support the first electric vehicles operating at those facilities.
Mathias Wiklund, chief sales officer at Kempower, said the partnership would support APM Terminals’ broader decarbonisation goals.
“We are honoured to be part of APM Terminal’s electrification roadmap and support them with their net zero targets,” Wiklund said.
“Kempower’s robust and reliable charging technology will support APM Terminals to keep their electric fleet on the move and optimise the operations,” he added.
Grant Morrison, global head of asset category management at APM Terminals, said electrification was a key element of the company’s pathway toward net-zero operations by 2040.
“Electrification is central to our pathway towards net zero by 2040, particularly as we transition diesel-powered terminal equipment to electric alternatives,” Morrison said.
“Through this Global Frame Agreement, Kempower becomes a key partner in enabling a consistent and scalable charging infrastructure, supporting both our decarbonisation objectives and future-ready charging solution that supports sustainable operations across our terminals,” he added.
The companies noted that the framework agreement does not include fixed order volumes.
Instead, APM Terminals will place individual orders based on its investment plans and operational requirements.
