Sany targets European ports for its electrically powered machinery

22 Feb 2023 CW Team

There are already 100 Sany empty container handlers and 40 Sany reach stackers with electric drives in service in China and South East Asia. Jürgen Keller, Product Manager, Sany Europe, believes electric equipment will play a big role in the EU's ambitious aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030. “Many clients are aware that in order to considerably cut CO 2 emissions across their fleet by 2030 and meet EU standards for reduced emissions, they must adapt their machinery acquisitions soon. In the upcoming six to twelve months, I anticipate more debates about this at the customer level,” said Keller.

Sany is aware that recharging is one of the most significant obstacles that electrically powered machinery must overcome. It is obvious that operators aim to maximise their operating time. Sany advises using clever charging techniques, such as installing charging stations in the canteen area so that the batteries can be recharged there while the operator takes a coffee break.

Sany provides a hybrid reach stacker in addition to machinery that is entirely electrically powered. Its two driving types a combustion engine and a straightforward hydro-pneumatic drive help to cut emissions by 20%. Using biofuels is another choice. Every Sany mobile port equipment with a Stage V engine can operate on both biofuels and regular fuels.

Centre Clears Power Distribution Upgrade for Uttar Pradesh

The Central Government has approved power distribution projects worth Rs 407.39 billion for Uttar Pradesh under the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS). The investment will be used to modernise the state's electricity distribution infrastructure and strengthen network capacity across urban and rural areas. The package targets one of the country's largest distribution networks as the state experiences rapid urbanisation and rising electricity consumption. Planned interventions include the strengthening of distribution lines, modernisation of substations, replacement of ageing electrical ..

India Data Centres To Consume 191 TWh By 2040 Driving Renewables

A Wood Mackenzie report says India's operational data centre capacity is projected to increase more than fivefold to 12 gigawatt (GW) by 2030 from 2.2 GW in 2025 as artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing drive demand. It projects electricity consumption to rise from 10 terawatt-hour (TWh) in 2025 to 191 TWh by 2040. The study forecasts a compound annual growth rate of around 40 per cent and notes AI-dedicated capacity will surge nearly 24-fold from 275 megawatt (MW) in 2025 to 6,546 MW by 2030. The report places India's digital economy at Rs 32 trillion (tn) in 2025 and says it contr..

Hydrogen Train Completes 1,200 Kilometres Of Trials

India's first hydrogen train was flagged off between Jind and Sonipat on July 17 and has travelled over 1,200 kilometres in trials, saving diesel consumption of more than 3,200 litres, a Railway Ministry press release said. The deployment marks the introduction of a zero-emission fuel cell train into route testing and represents a milestone in domestic rail innovation. The train generates electricity onboard through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, producing electricity to propel the vehicle while emitting only water vapour as a by-product. There is no smoke and no tailpipe car..
