Three new orders for crane technology "made in Germany"

Projects 2.5 million Euros in volume in South Korea, Japan and China / Soon more than 700 Rubber Tyred Gantries will be equipped with E-RTG by Conductix-Wampfler / Increasing diesel costs and environmental constraints ensure high demand for electrification solutions

March 2010. Conductix-Wampfler AG, part of the Conductix-Wampfler Group, world leading supplier of energy supply and data transmission systems for mobile consumers, has received three more large orders for the electrification of Rubber Tyred Gantry cranes (RTG) in Asia. The E-RTG solution developed in Weil am Rhein will be used in the Express Yard in South Korea, the Nagoya United Container Terminal in Japan, and the New Century Container Terminal in China. The three orders together have a total volume of 2.5 million Euros. In the South Korean port Express Yard, Conductix-Wampfler will install 17 Drive-In units, total system length of 8 kilometers distributed over 22 blocks; in the Chinese New Century Container terminal, there will be 28 Drive-In units with a total of about 3.2 kilometers in system length. At Nagoya United Container Terminal in Japan, 10 blocks will be electrified, with a total length of 2.9 kilometers. Here, 32 RTGs will be equipped with conventional Plug-In units. The technology for Japan and South Korea will be delivered directly from Weil am Rhein. The Drive-In units for the Chinese ports will be manufactured in the Chinese production facilities of Conductix-Wampfler. With these new orders, there will soon be more than 700 RTGs equipped with the innovative E-RTG technology "made in Germany".
