New Acquisitions by Wilson Sons Promise to Reduce CO2 Emissions and Strengthen Port Sustainability

Wilson Sons, a reference in electric port equipment in Brazil, announces the expansion of its fleet for operation at Tecon Salvador, in the port of the Bahian capital. The addition of 12 new fully electric yard tractors has the potential to avoid up to 341 tons of CO2 emissions per year, reinforcing the company’s commitment to the environment. In fact, it is currently offering some job vacancies.

Investing in the Vanguard of Port Technology

Tecon Salvador, the first business unit of Wilson Sons to implement entirely electric equipment in its operations, has invested in 12 more electric yard tractors. In addition, the company acquired two Reach Stackers and one Side Loader, marking a presence at the forefront of global port technology.

These vehicles, known as TTs (terminal tractors), are used for internal transportation between vessels and container storage areas. With an investment of approximately R$ 24 million, the company aims to increase the service capacity and competitiveness of the Port of Salvador, focusing on efficiency and best practices in sustainable development.

Allies to Climate and Efficiency

According to the executive director of Tecon Salvador, Demir Lourenço, the investment underscores the company’s commitment to the climate agenda through the adoption of technologies that reduce fossil fuel consumption and, consequently, the emission of greenhouse gases.

With this new investment, Brazil becomes the second country in the world, and the first in the Americas, to have a fleet of electric TTs. These 12 new TTs represent a savings of about 150,000 liters of diesel per year in the operation of the Bahian terminal, equivalent to up to 341 tons of CO2 that will not be emitted into the atmosphere annually.

Benefits Beyond the Environment

Beyond ecological benefits, electric TTs present significant advantages in terms of maintenance and comfort for operators. The electric motor requires less maintenance and eliminates the need for lubricating oil, as well as causing less wear on parts compared to diesel engines. The cabins, more ergonomic and with better sound insulation, provide greater comfort and safety for drivers.

Wilson Sons’ investments in the Salvador container terminal have already exceeded R$ 1 billion. The company recently completed the expansion phase of its terminal, which included the doubling of the main docking quay and the paving of a significant area, making the terminal fully capable of operating the largest New Panamax container ships, a global trend.

Wilson Sons is the largest integrated port and maritime logistics operator in the Brazilian market, with over 185 years of experience. The company serves more than 5,000 clients nationwide, providing comprehensive solutions for importers, exporters, the offshore energy industry, renewable energy projects, the agribusiness sector, among others.
