Electrify your RTGs without tearing up your yard

Port decarbonization starts with your cranes. Diesel-powered rubber tire gantry (RTG) cranes account for 50-75% of overall terminal fuel consumption. Although battery-electric RTGs promise a cleaner, more sustainable future, electrification has traditionally demanded costly yard redesigns, grid upgrades and weeks of operational disruption — until now.

Accelerate port decarbonization without rebuilding your terminal

The TMEIC E-Tanker brings power directly to your yard equipment without costly infrastructure or disruptive overhauls. TMEIC E-Tanker is a multi-component solution consisting of a mobile lithium-ion battery charging unit, battery block and charging station, all powered by TMEIC’s Fleet Management System (FMS). It eliminates the need for extensive infrastructure modifications that take capacity offline and compromise productivity. Reduce diesel consumption and emissions with one seamless, cost-effective switch that protects your port’s productivity.

Sustainability without compromise

TMEIC E-Tanker enables a meaningful shift away from diesel by supporting battery-electric RTGs with mobile, high-capacity charging. TMEIC E-Tanker reduces fossil fuel use, lowering greenhouse gas emissions and delivering measurable environmental impact without requiring a complete operational overhaul.

Practical, cost-effective electrification

Traditional RTG electrification methods demand extensive yard redesign, electrical grid expansion and weeks of crane downtime. TMEIC E-Tanker eliminates that disruption. With no need for massive infrastructure changes, terminals can transition to battery-powered RTGs through a low-investment, flexible approach that preserves capacity and avoids costly civil engineering and construction, all while using familiar port equipment. A single TMEIC E-Tanker can serve multiple RTGs from any crane original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and, with allied solutions from TMEIC and future compatibility for additional equipment types, TMEIC E-Tanker delivers a flexible foundation for expanding electric-powered port operations.
