Singapore-headquartered lithium-ion battery manufacturer Durapower has announced that 60 units of its battery system will be used in guided vehicles (AGVs) made by VDL Steelweld, a contract manufacturing, engineering and prototyping services company headquartered in the Netherlands.
These vehicles, which are expected to be used this year at the port in Busan, South Korea, will be used to transport shipping containers within the port facility.
Over the past decade, Durapower has delivered battery-powered systems for AGVs and cargo handling equipment for port applications in Singapore and Europe.
“This contract marks Durapower's entry into port solutions in South Korea, and we look forward to leveraging our new capabilities, strong reputation, and proven track record to expand into new countries and markets,” said Kelvin Lim, Durapower's Chief Executive Officer.
