Sustainability reduces costs: how the Künz CHARGER prepares terminals for the future

METRO MANILA, Philippines - July 25, 2025 - PRLog -- The Künz CHARGER RTG offers a compact, hybrid-powered solution for small intermodal terminals, combining sustainability with efficiency. Unlike traditional diesel RTGs, it reduces emissions, noise, and maintenance through electrification—meeting environmental goals without sacrificing performance.

The Künz CHARGER is a fully electric RTG designed for intermodal terminals using wheeled or strip mode. Its hybrid system offers flexible charging options and significantly lowers energy use and emissions. With efficient electric drives and reduced maintenance, it cuts operating costs by up to 70%, making it ideal for small terminals.

The CHARGER uses the igus P4 rol e-chain system for efficient, quiet, and low-maintenance energy supply. Designed for high speeds and loads, it reduces friction and drive power by 57%, cutting energy use while extending service life—ideal for demanding crane operations.

The CHARGER features a fully harnessed energy chain system using igus chainflex cables and the P4.42 e-chain, tested under real-world conditions for durability and performance. igus's long-standing partnership with Künz enabled early collaboration, ensuring optimal design, reliability, and sustainability—making the CHARGER a cost-effective solution for replacing aging RTGs.
