TII KAMAG has delivered 25 ePrecisionMover (ePM) electric swap body movers to Deutsche Post DHL Group, for use at yard logistics operations at parcel centers in Germany. The new vehicles will be introduced gradually at parcel centers where high throughput, short turnaround times and operational availability are critical.
In 1995, DHL became the first customer to receive a KAMAG swap body mover. At DHL’s parcel centers, swap body movers handle internal transport. The KAMAG ePM is designed to enable precise maneuvering of swap bodies among loading gates, ramps and staging areas.
The KAMAG ePM produces no local emissions, making it suitable for urban logistics sites. Compared with diesel-powered alternatives, operators also benefit from improved energy efficiency, reduced noise levels and lower maintenance requirements.
The KAMAG ePM is designed for round-the-clock, multishift operations. Its battery supports typical shift cycles, and the vehicle can be integrated into existing workflows with suitable charging infrastructure. Opportunity charging can also be used when needed without interrupting operations.
“The demands placed on parcel networks continue to grow, both in terms of handling performance and sustainability,” said TII KAMAG Head of Yard Logistics Sales Godehard Eidenhammer. “With the KAMAG ePM, we offer a solution that combines both dimensions and integrates seamlessly into existing and scalable logistics processes.”
Deutsche Post DHL Group representative Dane Becker said, “The electrification of our yard logistics is a key element of our sustainability strategy.
