A Kalmar terminal tractor

Cargotec has received contracts to supply 200 Kalmar terminal tractors to Parsec Inc in the last five months.

The value of the orders is undisclosed.

The units will come equipped with Cargotec's intermodal package featuring a special reinforced cab and frame to withstand the tough demands of an intermodal operation. The machines will be delivered by the end of first quarter 2011.

Over the past 20 years, Parsec Inc, the intermodal division of US-based O/B Leasing, has ordered hundreds of Kalmar terminal tractors for its operations in the US, Canada and Mexico.

"As long-time customers of Kalmar terminal tractors for both on- and off-highway applications, we have been continuously satisfied with the performance of our machines," says David Budig, Parsec's vice president.

"With emission regulations varying from region to region, Cargotec has been able to equip our units with the latest technology while accommodating different engine and capacity requirements," Budig adds.

The latest orders include a number of terminal tractors with Cummins ISB6.7 clean idle certified engines.
