APM Terminals (APMT) Algeciras has begun renewing and increasing its fleet of terminal tractors, with the arrivals of 116 new tractors scheduled to happen by July this year.
The introduction of the new Terberg YT222 model will go towards increasing the current fleet by 14 units.
The unit includes specifications resulting from suggestions made by the operators, with Terberg working together with APMT Algeciras to gain first-hand feedback from users about their vehicles and apply the necessary improvements to update their models.
In addition to a lower emission engine, improvements include re-positioning the exhaust behind the cabin, increased comfort and ergonomics, additional rear-view mirrors for improved driver visibility, enforced seat belt usage in order to start the tractor, as well as a presence sensor in the seat.
