From Aberdeen to Shetland, Orkney and back to mainland Scotland, the Terberg RT Electric recently completed a demonstration across NorthLink Ferries operations, showcasing how zero-emission technology can support the demanding requirements of daily port logistics.
Terberg Special Vehicles partnership with NorthLink Ferries, operated by Serco, spans many years. Today, a fleet of around 20 Terberg specialist tractors supports daily ferry and port handling operations across the Northern Isles, helping keep essential freight moving between mainland Scotland and the island communities that rely on these vital transport links.
Building on the proven success of Terberg's diesel fleet, the RT Electric demonstration gave operators the opportunity to experience electric performance in real working conditions.

The RT Electric's near-silent operation improves communication and awareness on the quayside while delivering the power and reliability needed to keep freight moving efficiently.
As ports continue to explore more sustainable solutions, demonstrations like this show how electric terminal tractors can support the transition without compromising on performance, durability or reliability.
