Durapower to electrify AGV fleet for PSA Tuas Port

Singaporean Lithium-ion battery manufacturer, Durapower Holdings Pte Ltd (“Durapower”) has successfully commissioned 54 Automated Guided Vehicles (“AGV”), powered by Durapower batteries, for operations at PSA Singapore (“PSA”) Tuas Port.

Durapower clinched the PSA Tuas Port AGV battery tender earlier this year, and has completed testing of its 266kWh Battery Energy Storage System (“BESS”) with a third-party AGV manufacturer.

This successful launch builds on Durapower’s ongoing efforts to advance global port decarbonisation. Durapower’s customised durable, high power battery solutions, first deployed in 2012 for specialty vehicles like AGVs, are built for ruggedness to withstand heavy loads, and extreme operating conditions. Serving as the backbone of commerce and industry, heavy vehicles bear the responsibility of heavy-lifting operations. To minimise operational downtime, Durapower offers high-performance, fast-charging battery pack systems for operational efficiency. Durapower battery solutions are used in logistics parks, airports, seaports, and other industrial applications globally.

Mr Kelvin Lim, Chief Executive Officer of Durapower Group commented, “This latest award is a testament to our customers and port businesses’ confidence in the quality, our products, in terms of performance, track record and safety, for heavy duty, specialty commercial electric vehicles that operate under strenuous conditions. It also highlights our strong relationship with PSA and partnership opportunities with various AGV manufacturers. We will continue to build on our technical capability and innovation to advance powerful and efficient clean energy solutions to the world.”
