Green machines for Barcelona’s BEST terminal

[ October 9, 2023   //   ]

Hutchison Ports group’s BEST terminal in Barcelona has taken delivery of six new hybrid shuttle carriers to move containers between the different facilities.

The terminal is primarily powered by electricity, exclusively from certified renewable sources and the only equipment in the terminal still powered by fossil fuels are the shuttle carriers. 

With the arrival of the new equipment, CO2 emissions will be reduced by up to 40% thanks to the use of a highly efficient regenerative energy system, helping BEST to reaffirm its position as one of the most environmentally sustainable facilities in Europe.
