RENTCO TO BRING AUSTRALIA’S FIRST FLEET OF TERBERG YT200-EV ELECTRIC TERMINAL TRACTORS

PortxGroup is proud to announce an upcoming delivery of the first large order of 12 Terberg YT200-EV Electric Terminal Tractors to Australia in 2023 to its valued customer, Rentco.

Our journey, alongside the team at Rentco, is the culmination of 12 months’ work with Terberg in Europe and Asia. Both PortxGroup and Rentco are very excited to deliver the first fit for purpose R/H Terminal Tractor into Australia.

The first 4 Terberg EV units are scheduled for delivery in June 2023, the remaining 8 units all to be delivered in 2023 and will boost Rentco’s already impressive portfolio of Terminal Tractors.

The transport industry of Australia is starting to recognise and incentivise green choices in an effort to help shape a more sustainable future. Rentco takes this very seriously and is leading the way with this order of 12 x 100% EV Terminal Tractors into Australia over the next 9 months. 

Whilst many countries around the world have made significant progress in the development and introduction of EV vehicles, Australia is still a little sceptical and undecided. Bringing a green prime mover into an industry is a bold and confident step forward and a commitment to a more sustainable future.

About the vehicle

Terberg YT200-EV is a 3rd generation product with a unique battery that has an Active Safety Design with 6 x temperature sensors. In addition, it has smoke sensor, temperature sensor, short circuit, overload and low voltage protection. The batteries utilise Freon generated liquid active cooling. 

The performance of the new Terberg YT200-EV electric motor is like that of a diesel engine, it has no CO2 and NOx emissions at the point of use. The new electric drive system has fewer moving parts than a diesel engine and any previous EV generation, resulting in lower maintenance costs. The new EV drive supports regenerative braking, thus reducing energy consumption. These vehicles can operate indoors with zero emissions and a lower noise level, which is particularly relevant for Terminal Trucks.

PortxGroup is committed to investing in building technical expertise and services to support EV Terminal Trucks in Australia, including provision of specific factory training for EVs.

Commenting on the order, Peter McLean, Group CEO said, “Once again, PortxGroup has delivered an innovative and highly productive solution to meet our customers’ needs. Lowering CO2 emissions and finding sustainable solutions is increasingly becoming a critical factor and this is where our Terberg YT200-EV Terminal Tractors are able to deliver outstanding results. We are honoured to be a supplier of choice for Rentco’s EV portfolio”.
