Kempower and EVlution Charge advance port terminal electrification in Canada at Global Container Terminals in Port of Vancouver14.9.2026 09:00:00 EEST | Press release
Kempower, a leading global provider of DC fast-charging solutions for electric vehicles, and EVlution Charge, its official Sales and Service Partner in Canada, today announced the deployment of charging infrastructure at Global Container Terminals’ (GCT) Vancouver location, which serves the Port of Vancouver, one of Canada’s largest ports. The charging infrastructure supports the electrification of GCT’s service vehicle fleet and the demands of daily terminal operations. “Following a thorough technical and operational assessment, GCT selected Kempower for its charging density, reliability and flexibility to support our 24/7 terminal operations. The system enables opportunity charging during shift changes and breaks, maximizing equipment availability while minimizing operational disruption,” said Kyron Harvett, Manager Operations Technology at GCT. “We recently demonstrated this capability through a successful heavy-duty battery-electric terminal tractor trial, operating around the cloc
Kempower ja EVlution Charge sähköistävät Global Container Terminalsin terminaalitoimintoja Vancouverin satamassa Kanadassa14.9.2026 09:00:00 EEST | Tiedote
Sähköajoneuvojen DC-pikalatausratkaisujen toimittaja Kempower on yhdessä kanadalaisen myynti- ja huoltopartnerinsa EVlution Chargen kanssa asentanut latausinfrastruktuurin Global Container Terminalsin (GCT) terminaaliin Vancouverin satamassa, joka on yksi Kanadan suurimmista satamista. Latausinfrastruktuuri tukee GCT:n terminaalitoimintoja ja sähköistä huoltoajoneuvokalustoa. ”Perusteellisen teknisen ja toiminnallisen arvioinnin jälkeen GCT valitsi Kempowerin tukemaan terminaalimme ympärivuorokautista toimintaa sen käyttöasteen, luotettavuuden ja joustavuuden ansiosta. Järjestelmän ansiosta laitteet voidaan ladata vuoronvaihtojen ja taukojen aikana, mikä maksimoi laitteiden käytettävyyden ja minimoi toiminnan keskeytykset”, sanoo GCT:n operaatio- ja teknologiajohtaja Kyron Harvett. ”Osoitimme tämän onnistuneessa raskaiden sähköisten terminaalitraktoreiden testissä, jossa ajoneuvot olivat käytössä ympäri vuorokauden useiden päivien ajan pelkästään taukolatausta hyödyntäen. Lähes 100-pro
