Kalmar has introduced a new Kalmar T2 terminal tractor for the European market, based on the highly acclaimed Kalmar Ottawa T2 launched in the American markets in 2014.

Building on almost 60 years of terminal tractor expertise and over 65,000 units manufactured, the new Kalmar T2 is designed to operate both in the busiest distribution terminals as well as in heavier (LoLo) port operations.

"The key features of the new Kalmar T2 are focused on driving down costs and optimising operational performance and flexibility," says Chris Booth, vice president, Terminal Tractors at Kalmar.

The clear-view cabin is built around the driver to deliver an uninterrupted view of the working environment. This helps improve safety and awareness through panoramic visibility. All major controls are close at hand for smooth operation.

The Kalmar T2 comes as standard with certification to meet roll-over and falling object protection standards (ROPS/FOPS) as well as noise-reducing high-density cabin insulation.

The new machine's powertrain efficiency combines with electronic engine RPM management to cut fuel consumption by around 10%, Kalmar claims.

Service downtime is reduced through the use of service panels providing easy access to key components and consumable parts. Drivers can complete daily checks quickly and efficiently, maximising operating time.

The Kalmar T2 terminal tractors come with a standard two-year or 4,000-hour warranty.
