Order includes 2 APM® 75T HE electric harbor
tractors to be used in the Freetown Terminal in Sierra
Leone
This 3rd order from Bolloré Ports, which is
part of its unprecedented Green Terminal environmental labeling
process for its 18 container and roll-on/roll-off terminals,
confirms the success of the partnership with Gaussin. It includes
the supply of 4 POWERPACK® HE and a 6x4 multi-charge
station.
GAUSSIN (EURONEXT GROWTH: ALGAU - FR0013495298), a
pioneer of clean and smart freight transport, announces a new order
from Bolloré Ports for 2 APM® 75T HE electric port tractors, 4
POWERPACK® HE and a 6x4 multi-load station for the Freetown port
terminal in Sierra Leone.
"We are honored by the confidence Bolloré Ports continues to
have in Gaussin’s expertise and technology. This new order, the
third one from Bolloré Ports, also attests to the commercial
success of the APM® 75T equipped with batteries from Blue
Solutions, the model now deployed in Africa, the Middle East,
Australia and New Zealand. Gaussin and Bolloré Ports share the same
commitment to carbon-free port logistics and our Group is proud to
continue to support Bolloré Ports in its goals,” said Christophe
Gaussin, CEO of the GAUSSIN Group.
"Gaussin's technology is fully in line with our groundbreaking
Green Terminal process, which aims to significantly reduce our
carbon footprint. It was therefore a natural decision to continue
our collaboration with Gaussin through this new order. The success
of this French partnership is also proof that pooling skills to
fight against the effects of global warming can lead to concrete
actions to effectively and sustainably fight against global warming
while improving operational performance," said Philippe Labonne,
CEO of Bolloré Ports.
Successful partnership between Gaussin and Bolloré
Ports
The APM® 75T HE was developed as a result of the combination of
Gaussin's expertise in the production of handling vehicles,
Blue Solutions' expertise in the production of electric
batteries and Bolloré Ports' expertise in port
logistics.
This innovative partnership has led to the development of
eco-responsible electric logistics and mobility solutions that are
ideal for extreme environments, from the tropics to the desert,
where heat alters sensitive components, particularly batteries. The
APM® 75T HE is the first container transport solution designed
specifically for hot countries, thanks to its unique solid-state
battery technology, which is reliable at external temperatures
ranging from -20°C to +60°C.
Designed on the basis of a modular and versatile platform, the
APM® is the only electric port vehicle on the market capable of
operating without interruption due to Gaussin’s patented "battery
swap" system that allows the batteries to be changed in just a few
minutes.
This "FULL ELEC" model has many other advantages. Not only does
it allow for significant energy savings and contribute to a totally
carbon-free port logistics, but it also reduces maintenance costs.
By putting an end to the noise pollution of traditional vehicles,
the "FULL ELEC" model reinforces productivity, safety and driving
comfort.
The LMP® battery: an electric battery technology adapted to
extreme conditions
The LMP® battery is an entirely solid-state technology, designed
and produced by Blue Solutions, a subsidiary of the Bolloré Group.
Fully produced in France, it is distinguished by its high energy
density and safety of use. The solid electrolyte gives it a very
high level of safety with no risk of thermal runaway. It is
particularly well suited to extreme weather conditions and to the
demanding productivity of heavy handling vehicles.
LMP® batteries do not contain cobalt, nickel, solvents or rare
earth elements, ensuring independence from materials that are
increasingly critical to society and the environment and thus
providing real competitive advantages in today's market.
Freetown Terminal
The Freetown Terminal, with a capacity of 380,000 TEUs, is the
main container terminal in Sierra Leone and the most important
gateway for trade and commerce in the country.
Bolloré Ports, which employs several hundred people at the
terminal, has recently undertaken a series of improvements,
including the integration of modern, adapted and environmentally
friendly handling equipment.
The objective of Bolloré Ports is to bring the productivity of
these port infrastructures in Sierra Leone up to the level of the
best ports on the African continent in the very short term.
Bolloré Ports' Green Terminal
The "Green Terminal" labeling process was initiated by Bolloré
Ports and launched in 2021 with the objective of contributing to
the reduction of the carbon footprint of its activities. It is
based on a comprehensive methodology covering all environmental
concerns through 8 fundamental pillars. The entire process, from
project definition to auditing, has been validated by Bureau
Veritas, one of the world's leading testing, inspection and
certification companies. Their experts will be responsible for
supporting Bolloré Ports throughout the year in deploying the label
in its network and for carrying out audits to assess the
environmental performance of its port terminals with a view to
issuing a certificate of compliance.
