Learn about:1. The “digital twin” technology optimizing routes and vehicle utilization.2. Phased approaches to EV adoption for cost-effectiveness.3. Global trends in clean fleet mandates and what sets California apart.4. The critical importance of data in making smart electrification decisions.
Then, we jump into the yard with Kalmar and Product Manager Ryan Sipple to unveil their groundbreaking autonomous electric terminal tractor, the Ottawa Auto-PT!
Discover:1. How Kalmar Ottawa partnered with Forterra for the advanced autonomous drive software.2. The robust sensor suite and redundancy features enabling “driver-out” operations in pilots.3. The unique challenges and solutions for autonomous backing in a busy yard environment.4. The evolution of Kalmar’s EV terminal tractor, now in its third generation, offering up to 20 hours of operation with opportunity charging.5. Insights into future developments like inductive charging and optimized powertrain configurations.
