    SINGAPORE's PSA Antwerp has announced that it will join in the testing of a Terberg hydrogen-powered terminal tractor and mobile hydrogen filling station at its Europa Terminal.

    The tractor has a carrying capacity of up to 36 tonnes, and will be deployed to move containers in the terminal said the PSA Antwerp statement.

    Testing will last two weeks and is part of the Hydrolog project, a demonstrator set up by the Flanders Institute for Logistics (VIL) to map out possible types of internal hydrogen transport vehicles for the industry.

    PSA Antwerp's carbon emissions are produced mainly from diesel-operated equipment such as straddle carriers, terminal tractors and other terminal vehicles. Besides reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the company's long term aim is to significantly decrease Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Particle Matters (PM) at its terminals.
