Building on strong sales momentum with Spanish port operators, Konecranes has secured a new order with CSP Iberian Valencia Terminal S.A.U. for seven Konecranes hybrid Rubber-Tired Gantry  cranes. The order was booked in February 2025, with delivery to the Port of Valencia scheduled for March 2026.

The new cranes will add to the fleet of 11 Konecranes hybrid RTGs that CSP Valencia already has in operation at its terminals in Valencia and Bilbao. The port operator’s decision to invest in additional Konecranes hybrid RTGs underscores its long-term commitment to reduce emissions in container handling.

Featuring Konecranes’ proven hybrid drive technology, the hybrid RTGs significantly reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions compared to conventional diesel-powered RTGs. The seven new cranes come equipped with Active Load Control (ALC), Gantry Collision Prevention and Truck Lift Prevention, enhancing operational efficiency and safety at the Valencia terminal.

“This investment is another important step in our journey towards zero tailpipe port operations. We have a very strong relationship with Konecranes, built over many years of reliable performance. The company’s hybrid technology is the solution that modern ports need,” says Gustavo Ferrer Soriano, General Manager at CSP Iberian Valencia.

The Konecranes Port Services operation in Valencia plays a key role in supporting CSP Valencia, with maintenance experts on hand to ensure the long-term reliability and performance of Konecranes equipment. The services operation has significantly expanded its footprint and capabilities over the past decade, serving customers across the region.

“In partnership with Konecranes, many port operators on the Iberian Peninsula and the Canary Islands are now in full transition to more sustainable operations – this is already our third agreement for the region announced in 2025. The growing uptake of our hybrid drive technology speaks for itself – this is the way to achieve high operational performance while reaching sustainability goals,” says Darryn Scheepers, EMEA Sales Director, Konecranes, Port Solutions.

This contract is part of Ecolifting, Konecranes’ vision to increase its handprint – meaning the beneficial environmental impact that can be achieved with our product and service portfolio – while reducing customers’ carbon footprints. From eco-optimizing diesel drives, to hybridization and fully-electrified fleets, we will continue to do more with less.

A strong focus on customers and commitment to business growth and continuous improvement make Konecranes a material handling industry leader. This is underpinned by investments in digitalization and technology, plus our work to make material flows more efficient with solutions that decarbonize the economy and advance circularity and safety.
