First electric empty container handlers to support lowering NZ’s ports’ emissions

New electric empty container handlers promise to play a key role in decarbonising two of New Zealand’s largest ports, in the latest round of successful applications from EECA’s Low Emission Transport Fund.

Port of Auckland and Wellington’s CentrePort have each been approved co-funding of $500,000 towards procuring an electric empty container handler, as well as associated on-port charging infrastructure.
