Associated British Ports is the first UK port operator to trial a hydrogen fuelled tractor in its container terminal at the Port of Immingham. The Terberg hydrogen terminal tractor has been tested at the UK’s largest port by volume of tonnage, alongside a mobile hydrogen filling station provided by Air Products. The project has been collaboration between ABP, Terberg, Air Products and the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult.This demonstration is a key activity in the bid to decarbonise port operations, and an important step in the creation, delivery, and use of hydrogen at the Port of Immingham. Alongside this, HII is developing market, technology, and economic assessments of hydrogen technologies to support the larger UK industry with H2 adoption. This joint pilot project received funding from ORE Catapult through Innovate UK’s Hydrogen Innovation Initiative, following funding of initial feasibility from the Department for Transport’s Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition. AB Ports have been a long-term customer for Terberg Special Vehicles and have operated a fleet of YT 4x2 and RT 4x4 tractors over the years in their mixed role environments. This is an exciting opportunity to explore this new groundbreaking technology in a dynamic real-world scenario.”
