In an era marked by a growing commitment to environmental responsibility and the pursuit of operational excellence, the Terberg YT220 LNG terminal tractor emerges as a beacon of innovation. Running on Liquified Natural Gas (LNG), this vehicle not only demonstrates its eco-conscious credentials but also excels in terms of engine performance, seamless transmission, driver comfort, and agility. With its ability to address the 'energy trilemma,' it embodies a sustainable energy future while providing a competitive edge in the demanding world of terminal operations. In this article, we delve into the multitude of advantages of the Terberg YT220 LNG, underscoring its unique position as a versatile and reliable solution for modern terminal logistics.
Environmentally conscious
Terbreg YT220 LNG runs off Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) offers a multitude of environmental and economic advantages. It stands out as the cleanest among fossil fuels, emitting 40% less CO2 than coal and 30% less than oil, while producing minimal air pollutants. LNG's low environmental impact is underscored by its clear, odourless, and predominantly methane-based composition. Beyond its eco-friendliness, LNG helps address the 'energy trilemma' by simultaneously providing affordable energy, ensuring supply security through diverse global sources, and bridging gaps in intermittent renewable energy supply. LNG emerges as a versatile and reliable energy source for a sustainable energy future.
Engine Excellence
In the world of terminal tractors, power and reliability are paramount. The Terberg YT220 LNG excels in both respects. With a simple twist of the start key, the 220hp (164kW) engine fires to life, ready to tackle the most demanding of heavy-duty tasks. This robust engine is a testament to Terberg's commitment to providing top-notch performance for terminal operations.
Seamless Transmission
Efficiency and ease of operation are crucial when shuttling trailers within a bustling terminal. Engaging forward motion is as effortless as pressing a button and releasing the brakes. This swift transition from standstill to mobility ensures that every second counts and is optimized.
Safety, Comfortable and Intuitive Controls
Safety and comfort go hand in hand, and the Terberg YT220 takes this seriously. The entrance is user-friendly, featuring fully enclosed steps with a lipless entry, minimizing the risk of accidents during entry and exit. The presence of handrails adds an extra layer of security, ensuring that drivers maintain three points of contact when navigating the stairs. Furthermore, the vehicle's design prioritizes accessibility, with easily reachable daily inspection points and an emergency ignition cutoff switch at ground level. The sturdy chassis exudes a sense of quality and strength, assuring operators that they are working with a reliable partner.
Where Power Meets Precision, Comfort, and Agility
While manoeuvring unladen across uneven concrete in a yard tug can be a jarring experience, the Terberg YT220 surprises with its smooth ride. Thanks to rubber-mounted parabolic springs, telescopic front shock absorbers, and an airbag-suspended cab, it minimizes the typical "kick" associated with such vehicles. The air ride ISRI driver's seat adds to the comfort, making long shifts more manageable. The unit's efficiency shines when backing it under a trailer, thanks to its straightforward fifth-wheel operation. Notably, the cab intrusion barrier enhances safety, preventing potential collisions between the trailer and the cab during backing manoeuvres.
“The Terberg YT220 remains an impressive terminal tractor, offering a blend of power, comfort, and safety that sets it apart in the competitive world of terminal operations. ”
