Kalmar will collaborate with the Move2Green ecosystem to develop electrification technologies and related business for zero emission heavy material handling equipment as well as find suitable alternative energy sources for solutions that promote local energy production and self-sufficiency. By developing and integrating innovative technologies and data- and AI-enabled services to optimize logistics operations, the program aims to develop high-value clean energy solutions for global markets as well as novel value creation models with strong focus on circularity and lifecycle aspects.
The program is funded by Business Finland through the Veturi or Leading company challenge competitions. Kalmar, as the Leading company, will receive 20 million euros and will build an ecosystem of 150 partners, including industrial organizations, technology companies, research institutions, and universities, to advance the program's mission. Additionally, the ecosystem partners can receive up to 50 million euros of funding.
The global demand for zero-emission solutions is growing rapidly, and this change represents a significant market opportunity for Kalmar and the Move2Green ecosystem. Together with our ecosystem partners, we will develop the energy and data infrastructure to make efficient and safe zero emission solutions possible.
