Electric Port Tractor Truck

The electric tractor truck with an offset cabin is purpose-built for container handling and transfer operations at port terminals, warehouses and internal logistics facilities. Optimized for high-intensity operations, the vehicle combines continuous operating capability, strong low-speed traction, fast charging and low operating costs to meet the specific requirements of container transportation within port environments.

Special Purpose Built Cab Design

Robust Cab Frame Structure with Optimized Weight

The cab features a frame structure reinforced with load-bearing panels, providing high structural rigidity and durability while optimizing cab weight.

The cab frame meets the stringent Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) and Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS) standards applicable to construction machinery, making it suitable for the demanding working environments of ports and warehouses.

Convenient Cab Door Design for Trailer Connections:

The rear cab door features a sliding design, allowing drivers to conveniently connect or disconnect trailer air lines and valves directly from the cab.

The access steps and handrails are strategically positioned and finished with high-visibility warning colors to improve visibility and support safer entry and exit.

The left-side door opens forward. Both side windows feature sliding glass panels and integrated emergency hammers, providing convenient visibility and enabling rapid emergency escape when necessary.

The rear door is equipped with a dual-limit mechanism and reinforced upper guide rails to help prevent door sagging after prolonged use.

Wide Field of Vision for Safer Yard Operations:

The front windshield features curved laminated glass to expand the driver’s field of vision and reduce forward blind spots, helping drivers maintain better awareness of the vehicle’s surroundings when maneuvering through port terminals and container yards.

Electric Cab Tilting for Convenient Inspection and Maintenance:

The vehicle is equipped with an electric cab-tilting system that enables convenient and efficient cab tilting at an angle of up to 55°. This provides access to the mechanical components beneath the cab and facilitates inspection and maintenance.

Electronic components are centrally arranged in the front cab compartment and the side compartment beneath the vehicle floor. The compartment covers can be opened conveniently for maintenance.

The vehicle also features a dedicated inspection access panel for the windshield wiper motor, a newly designed dashboard and the distinction of being the first port tractor truck equipped with a smart push-button start system.

310 kWh Battery System

The 310 kWh battery pack is positioned evenly along both sides of the chassis, optimizing installation space and accommodating the structural requirements of a dedicated electric tractor truck for internal port operations.

The vehicle can travel more than 180 km on a full charge, depending on actual road conditions and payload. This configuration meets the requirements of container transportation and transfer operations within ports, warehouses and internal logistics routes.

The vehicle supports dual-gun DC fast charging, allowing two charging connectors to be used simultaneously. The battery can be charged from 20% to 95% in approximately 50 minutes. This capability enables businesses to replenish energy during breaks between shifts or temporary operating stops, improving vehicle availability and operational readiness.

Electric Drivetrain System

High-Power Electric Motors

The vehicle uses a dual-motor electric drivetrain with a reduction transmission system, delivering a maximum combined power output of 440 kW.

Abundant torque at low speeds enables powerful starts and rapid throttle response, making the vehicle particularly well suited to port and warehouse operations involving frequent stops and restarts.

Regenerative Braking System

Port operations typically involve repeated acceleration, deceleration, stopping and restarting. The regenerative braking system recovers energy during deceleration and converts it into electrical energy, improving energy utilization compared with conventional diesel-powered vehicles.

Operational Efficiency for Businesses

The vehicle produces zero tailpipe emissions and operates at very low noise levels, meeting increasingly stringent environmental requirements as ports transition towards greener operations.

Its low-noise performance makes it suitable for continuous operation while helping minimize noise disturbance in surrounding areas.

The electric drivetrain delivers smooth operation with low vibration, helping reduce driver fatigue during shift work and high-intensity operating cycles.

The cab’s wide field of vision, safety-oriented structure and strategically positioned visibility-enhancing features help drivers maintain better awareness of their surroundings during container transfer operations.

Compared with internal combustion engine vehicles, the electric drivetrain has fewer mechanical wear components requiring replacement or repair. This helps reduce operating costs and routine maintenance expenses, particularly for businesses operating vehicles at high frequency and intensity.

The vehicle is developed to accommodate demanding, continuous day-and-night operations at port terminals, warehouses and internal logistics facilities.

Conclusion

Featuring a purpose-built offset cab, a 310 kWh battery, a driving range of more than 180 km, dual-gun DC fast charging from 20% to 95% in approximately 50 minutes and a dual-motor electric drivetrain delivering up to 440 kW, this electric port tractor truck is designed to meet the specific requirements of internal container transportation.

The combination of strong traction, fast charging, zero tailpipe emissions, low operating noise and reduced maintenance requirements makes it a suitable solution for port operators, warehouses and logistics centers seeking to improve operational efficiency and accelerate the transition to greener transportation.
