Marsa Maroc has placed an order for 106 Terberg electric terminal tractors. The batteries have a large capacity allowing for a range of multiple shifts. The tractors will be built at Terberg’s plant in Malaysia and will be deployed at the new terminal in development Nador West in Morocco.
As the largest single order for Terberg EV terminal tractors to date it underlines global port operators’ confidence in Terberg’s advanced, latest generation electric terminal tractors. This confidence is evident from the proven track record of Terberg EV tractors operating successfully at terminals around the world. These electric solutions deliver key advantages, including a lower carbon footprint, reduced maintenance effort, and a better work environment for drivers and others. This order again confirms that the performance of electric terminal tractors at minimum matches the performance of diesel units.
Marsa Maroc Group is the largest port operator in Morocco, operating at over ten sites. Marsa Maroc is currently developing a greenfield terminal in the port of Nador West Med. This is a joint development for one part with Terminal Investment Limited (TIL) and the other part with CMA-CGM. The new terminals will offer 1,520 metres of quayside, 70 hectares of yards and an annual capacity of 3.4 million TEU. The first phase will become operational early in 2027. Terberg distributor Spia Maroc will supply and maintain the tractors. Their team includes over five hundred engineers and technicians.
