Kalmar and Medcenter Container Terminal (MCT) have signed a significant order for 20 Kalmar hybrid straddle carriers, with the cranes expected to be delivered in Q1 2026.
“Kalmar straddle carriers have been the backbone of our operations for many years, so continuing our successful partnership was an easy decision,” said Antonio Testi, CEO, MCT.
“Bringing more hybrid machines into our straddle fleet will enable us to reduce local emissions, fuel costs and noise levels significantly while also offering our operators a more comfortable working environment.”
MCT, based in Gioia Tauro, Italy, is owned and operated by Terminal Investment Limited (TIL).
The terminal handles approximately 4 million TEUs annually. Kalmar has delivered over 200 straddle carriers to MCT since 1995.
“We have been working with MCT since the terminal was first opened and have developed a strong partnership over the years. We are delighted that they have again selected our proven, eco-efficient hybrid straddle carrier technology to expand their fleet,” added Marco Tosi, Country Director, Kalmar Italy.
