First battery van for PD Ports

[ February 15, 2023   //   ]

North-East port operator PD Ports has taken delivery of its first, fully electric vehicle at Tees Dock following a successful trial. The electric van, which is the first of three to be delivered in this phase, is part of the company’s wider plans to eliminate fossil fuel usage within its port vehicles and equipment. 

PD Ports also started to electrify its entire fleet of rubber tyred gantry cranes in 2020 and 70% has now been converted with the remainder due to be completed during 2023.
