We already offer a wide range of fully electric machines and continue to expand our portfolio. However, electrification involves more than just the machine; it also requires managing the entire terminal energy, such as charging services and battery lifecycle optimisation solutions. Through Move2Green, we can accelerate this development and collaborate with ecosystem partners to make electric operations viable, scalable, and sustainable.

Our research and development focuses on:

  • Charging and battery technologies to replace diesel oil as the main energy source.
  • Intelligent charging systems and terminal energy management
  • Electric machines
  • Energy storage solutions
  • Alternative energy sources

Move2Green: Electrification beyond machines

Partnership update: Kalmar and Elonroad testing the power of dynamic charging

Kalmar joins forces with Kempower and SINEXCEL to accelerate the green transition in material-handling and logistics

With data-driven services, we are translating real-time intelligence into measurable efficiency. By establishing a secure data foundation layer, we are ensuring seamless interoperability across all operations. On top of this, we are driving agentic development, creating autonomous AI systems that actively eliminate operational redundancy. By bringing in the latest sensor technology alongside digital twins, we can further optimize logistics chains, anticipate failures, and improve safety, even in the harshest conditions.

Key research and development topics:  

  • New data-driven business models for services, including recycling and electrification
  • Serviceability
  • Predictive and intelligent maintenance  
  • Digital twins and simulations
  • Autonomous and driver assistance systems
  • Dynamic data access management for polycentric environments
  • Interoperation for optimisers in cross-industry systems

Move2Green: Data and AI driving net-zero logistics

With Circularity and Responsibility, we drive new circular business models and customer value by extending equipment lifecycles. This starts with a modular, design-to-service approach at the beginning of the value chain. It continues with proactive maintenance and upgrades to maximize uptime, and culminates in full refurbishment, giving our machines a second life.

Key research and development topics:  

  • Enhancing safety through data and AI
  • Circularity / Circular Economy
  • New materials (e.g. green steel)
  • Quality assurance in design and production
