The seven Full electric APM 75T vehicles shipped to CentrePort

CentrePort, New Zealand's first intermodal center

Located in Wellington, CentrePort (CPL) is New Zealand's most strategic intermodal center, linking road, rail, domestic and international shipping services. CentrePort's central location, natural sheltered deep water port and modern port facilities enable it to offer a wide range of freight and logistics services.

Gaussin, accelerating the transition to zero-emission transport

New Zealand passed a "Zero Carbon" law in 2019 that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to a near-neutral level by 2050. International shipping and port operations are a significant source of carbon emissions. Therefore, reducing emissions in these sectors is a major and global objective.

By choosing full electric port tractors, CentrePort is making a major commitment to the environment. Gaussin's APM 75T port tractor will help to completely decarbonize the horizontal transport of containers in the Port of Wellington.

"The investment in electric vehicles is part of CentrePort's regeneration programme, which will deliver 21st century logistics assets that benefit the economy, the city, the community and the region", said Derek Nind, CentrePort Chief Executive. "This investment also has strong business drivers for us, delivering a more efficient supply chain system with lower running costs, as well as lower emissions. Centreport is excited and grateful to be working with the very talented team at Gaussin to help us achieve these objectives".

APM 75T "HE " performance and specifications

The APM 75T HE is a fully electric port tractor for container transport. It is equipped with LMP® Lithium Metal Polymer batteries, a technology insensitive to temperature variations between -20 and +160°C, designed and produced by Blue Solutions. Gaussin's APM 75T HE provides significant operational savings in terms of maintenance and energy, addresses zero emissions and noise pollution goals, while increasing productivity, driving comfort and safety.

This APM 75T HE version incorporates several of the new optional Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including Heads-Up Display (UHD), Driver Fatigue Detection System and a sensor kit for obstacle detection.

The APM 75T electric port tractor combined with the TT 65T port trailer is the perfect solution to support CentrePort's strategy to conduct its operations in the most efficient and environmentally friendly manner.

"The delivery of this order for APM 75T vehicles to CentrePort is a first for GAUSSIN in New Zealand. I would like to thank this major port operator for their trust and the great honour for us. We share the same desire to fight global warming and decarbonise port operations. GAUSSIN is a pioneer in this commitment, which is also a raison d'être for us. This once again confirms the success of our APM Full Elec and Terminal Trailer models", said Christophe Gaussin, CEO of GAUSSIN.
