Port & material handling equipment vehicles are utilized for material handling at maritime ports. These are the tractors, stackers and lift trucks used to carry material from the ship terminals to the warehouse, distributor center in the port.
Increased international freight transport has surged the demand of the port & material handling equipment vehicle. Globalization and rise in trade backed by recovery of economies are driving freight transport and in turn, the sales of port & material handling equipment vehicles. Ports across the globe are undergoing expansion to cater to the increased volume of container handling, which in turn is boosting the sales of port & material handling equipment vehicles. Autonomous & semi-autonomous technologies are being incorporated in tractor trailers to achieve better ergonomics. Caofeidian port in China is a fully autonomous harbor with the entire fleet of trucks and cranes being autonomous. Self-driving tractors and other port & material handling equipment vehicles are being used in Yanshan, Qingdao, and Rotterdam ports. China is leading the trend of employing autonomous vehicles as port & material handling equipment vehicles.
