(4 In 2025, our port offering saw the introduction of the electric reach stacker, electric empty container handler, an E-Hybrid Rubber-Tired Gantry (RTG) crane as well as a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Straddle Carrier. For industrial customers within selected countries in Europe, a low-emission steel option for the overhead crane box girder was made available, enabling a 40 percent reduction in the full crane climate impact according to Life Cycle Assessment calculations (cradle to gate).
(5 In 2024, In Port Solutions, new product launches included for example the company’s second electric forklift, as well as straddle carrier and sprinter carrier with modular power options. On the industrial side, the streamlining of the product variants continued, resulting in fewer components, and several new products like the Konecranes S-series low headroom hoist and X-series crane, were launched.
(6 In addition to the science-based targets, Konecranes has a separate target of achieving carbon neutral manufacturing operations. Carbon neutrality means first reducing absolute emissions as much as possible, and then offsetting the unavoidable emissions through the purchase of verified carbon credits, which have an immediate impact by delivering finance to emission reduction projects elsewhere.
