The Mammoet SPMT transport goes electric

Mammoet is now offering a zero-emission option for its Self-Propelled Modular Transporter (SPMT transport), compatible with any trailer in its fleet.

The zero-emission option is possible through a conversion process for SPMT power pack units (PPUs), which replaces the diesel powertrain inside existing trailers with an electric alternative. Once retrofitted, each trailer combination has comparable power to existing industry standard units.

The PPU vastly reduces noise levels at project sites, resulting in a safer and more productive work environment.

Communication between staff is clearer, while longer operational windows are now possible at locations where sound restrictions are in place.

The system represents another step towards zero emissions on site, eliminating the carbon footprint of the SPMT transport.

This allows our customers to meet increasingly strict environmental legislation more easily, reducing the impact of transport phases on surrounding communities and infrastructure.

As well, retrofitting existing SPMT fleets cuts down on both waste and additional fabrication, compared to sourcing new zero emission equipment.

The electric option was partially financed by the DKTI, a Dutch government program to develop climate technologies and innovations in logistics.

Mammoet worked with a leading provider of zero-emissions powertrains for heavy industry to bring the electric power pack solution to market.

Developed by Mammoet in 1984 and with more than 40,000 axle lines in use globally, the SPMT Transport revolutionized heavy industry by maneuvering practically any load safely, efficiently and with precision.
