Kalmar launches new T2 terminal tractor

Finnish manufacturer Kalmar has launched its new T2 terminal tractor, targeting the European market and designed to work in distribution terminals as well as in heavier port operations such as lift-on/lift-off (Lo/Lo).

Mikko Lehtinen, Kalmar’s business development director for terminal tractors, told CM that the T2 model is the focal point of Kalmar’s strategy to compete with Terberg, the market leader in terminal tractors in Europe.

In a presentation, he said that he wanted Kalmar to sell more units to the “low-hanging fruit” of distribution centres, particularly those in the UK.
