DP World Sets Up Latin America's First E-Truck Charging Station; this facility will reduce about 2000 tons of carbon dioxide annually

DP World’s terminal at the Port of Callao, Peru has begun using the first electric charging station for trucks in Latin America With this infrastructure, the port can reduce  over 2000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year.

The charging facility is located in a newly-built pier that will launch in the coming months, raising the Port of Callao's container capacity to 2.7 million TEUs.

The facility built by Enel X Way, will be used to charge 20 of the 100 percent electric internal transport trucks that DP World recently acquired for terminal operations.

According to Enel, the station consists of 10 dual fast-charge chargers of 200 KW each, supported by an electrical infrastructure of 2MW of installed power.

Globally, DP World is investing around $72 million towards carbon neutral port operations, about 0.5 percent of its annual revenue. Part of the investment has gone into supporting port electrification programs such as in Callao.
