Meet the newly redesigned Kalmar Ottawa third generation T2 EV electric terminal tractor - The time is NOW to go electric.

 

Discover unmatched yard spotting efficiency and sustainable operations with the Kalmar Ottawa T2 EV electric Terminal Tractor. This yard spotter is engineered for zero carbon emissions while providing optimal performance in challenging conditions.

 

Eco-efficiency built in

Your electric terminal tractor will produce zero carbon emission at source, making it cleaner and safer to operate in your yard, terminal or distribution center. Getting an electrically powered yard truck is only the start of your eco-efficient journey. One that we will be with you every step of the way.

Three BIG benefits of the Kalmar Ottawa third generation T2 EV electric yard truck

Kalmar Ottawa’s third generation of electric terminal trucks will help improve the eco-efficiency of your operations while maintaining the highest levels of productivity and safety. With a range of modular battery options and charging solutions, we can work with you to design a yard truck solution that will deliver for your yard, terminal or distribution center.

  • Charge times reduced - DC FastChargeTM System, which has allowed us to decrease our charge time significantly.

  • Electric motor - Eliminated the transmission from the driveline, moving to a direct drive solution where the electric motor is powering the drive axle, reducing the complexity of the driveline.

  • Ability to operate in extreme temperatures - Active Thermal Management System, which will allow your electric terminal tractor to operate optimally at full power in extreme temperatures. The system keeps your core battery temperature between 77-86˚F for optimal performance even when the temperature outside gets down to -22˚F or up to 122˚F.

 

Managing your power

Kalmar’s Battery Monitoring System continually monitors the voltage, temperature, coolant and current flow of your battery solution to ensure that it operates optimally over its lifetime. This system also controls the charging of the batteries by utilizing regenerative braking, sending recovered energy back into the battery packs making sure you are using the power available as efficiently as possible. 

*First life measured as 80% capacity left in the battery.

 

Modular by design

Batteries and chargers are a big part of your overall invesment, making it critical that you get a solution that is matched to your operational requirements, which is why Kalmar has taken a modular approach to our battery and charging solutions. 

 

  • There are different charging solutions available for our yard spotters with charging capacities up to 150 kW.
  • Three different Li-ion battery capacities to choose from. 
  • Kalmar Ottawa can help you decide which yard spotter battery option and charging solution is right for your business based on your current work cycles.

Our battery solutions all come with a 6-year/2800 charge cycle warranty*.

 

Designed for the driver

We have made sure that everything in our yard spotter cabin has been ergonomically designed, down to the smallest detail. Your drivers will benefit from:

  • Comfortable driver’s seat, a control panel that’s always visible and within easy reach and even a brake pedal that has been redesigned to improve braking
  • Wide front view windscreens, side mirrors fitted as standard to ensure your drivers can always see behind them
  • Standard rear door allowing safe direct access to the trailer hookups (*optional side door entry)
  • Many other safety features that come fitted as standard.

 

For complete peace of mind

All Kalmar Electric Terminal Tractors come with a 3-year/6500-hour warranty on major electric components, and a 6-year warranty on the batteries. Kalmar Ottawa also offers a full range of service packages and genuine parts to keep your terminal tractor operating optimally, thus minimizing downtime.
