SANY’s STT4501E2-D Sets New Benchmark for Heavy-Duty Port Operations

The new Electric Terminal Tractor delivers extended range, high tractive force and low operating costs tailored for European port logistics.  www.sanyglobal.com Ports, container terminals, industrial yards and distribution hubs increasingly seek equipment that lowers emissions, reduces noise and cuts fuel-related costs. In this context, fully electric terminal tractors are emerging as a practical alternative to diesel machines. SANY’s STT4501E2-D addresses these requirements with a design focused on durability, continuous operation and competitive operating economics. Core Technologies Designed for Heavy Loads and Long Shifts The STT4501E2-D is engineered around a reinforced heavy-duty chassis capable of handling up to 75 tonnes of trailer load. Its 281.9 kWh battery supports a driving range of roughly 120 kilometres or up to 18 hours of operation, depending on workload. A dedicated thermal management system maintains optimal battery temperature during continuous duty, contributing to stable performance and extended battery life. To increase energy efficiency, the tractor incorporates an enhanced braking system that maximises regenerative energy recovery. The electrical architecture uses a three-part system with IP67-level protection and integrates leakage detection linked to SANY’s remote monitoring platform, enabling early fault identification and consistent uptime. Operational Efficiency That Supports Fleet Electrification A fully electric drivetrain reduces both energy expenditure and mechanical wear, which lowers maintenance requirements compared with diesel counterparts. For ports with long operating windows, the model’s optimised battery capacity, stable runtime and reduced servicing provide predictable cost savings. This combination of performance and efficiency has made the tractor a practical starting point for operators planning a gradual transition toward electric fleets across their yards and terminals. Technical Specifications for Procurement and Evaluation The model features a 4×2 drive configuration, a 3,400 mm wheelbase and peak power of 280 kW. It reaches a maximum speed of 40 km/h and has an unladen weight of 10,000 kg, with a total permissible weight of 85,000 kg. Its overall dimensions are 5,850 × 2,500 × 3,500 mm, and the inner turning radius is 6.6 metres. www.sanyeurope.com Powered by Induportals Media Publishing
