SHANGHAI, June 27,
2024 /CNW/ -- On June
25th, SANY Marine, a subsidiary of SANY Heavy Industry,
signed a landmark agreement with Saudi Global Ports Company (SGP),
a joint venture between PSA International and local partners, to
promote sustainable development and strategic cooperation in Saudi
Arabian ports. This agreement, which includes the purchase of 80
electric trucks, represents the largest single order of electric
trucks globally.
The signing ceremony was attended by high-profile figures,
including Mr. Rayan AlBakri, Deputy
Minister of Transport of Saudi
Arabia, Edward Tah, CEO of
SGP, Fu Weizhong, Chairman of SANY Marine, and Tang Weibin, General
Manager of Overseas Marketing. This event underscores the
commitment to driving sustainable growth in the port industry.
SGP, a joint venture between PSA, the Public Investment Fund
(PIF), and Al Blagha Group, aims to accelerate the low-carbon
development and modernization of PSA's ports. SANY Marine's
electric trucks will contribute to addressing climate change and
align with Saudi Arabia's "Vision
2030" sustainable development goals.
This collaboration is part of Saudi
Arabia's strategy to position itself as a key global
logistics hub connecting three continents. The facility was awarded
"Port of the Year" at the 2024 ShipTek Awards and will have the
largest electric fleet in the Middle
East upon completion of the transaction.
SANY's electric trucks will play a vital role in port operations
by reducing air and greenhouse gas emissions through zero-emission
technology, thus protecting the environment. They also offer higher
energy efficiency and cost savings in operation and
maintenance.
Omar Hariri, Chairman of the
Saudi Ports Authority, expressed his excitement about the contract,
stating, "This contract contributes to the development and
modernization of the port, making it a flexible and sustainable
logistics center."
Earlier this year, SANY Heavy Industry delivered 50 dump trucks
to Saudi Arabia. Along with over
1,700 SANY Heavy Industry equipment deployed at the NEOM
construction site, these vehicles mark a significant contribution
to the region's development.
SGP has been collaborating with SANY Marine, a subsidiary of
SANY Heavy Industry, since 2013. To date, approximately 50 mobile
port equipment and six rubber-tired gantry cranes (RTGs) have been
delivered.
