Kalmar Ottawa Debuts New Terminal Tractor

Kalmar Ottawa announced a newly designed terminal tractor, the T2, after two years of research and testing.

The new tractor is lighter due to increased used of composite materials and features a strengthened chassis and more ergonomic cab, according to the company.

“Nearly two years ago, we began the process of creating the T2 by consulting with the real terminal tractor experts — our dealers and their customers,” David Wood, vice president of sales and marketing for terminal tractors Americas region, said in a statement.

“We took their advice, and our engineers applied advanced design processes to build a truck that offers superior ergonomics inside the cab for improved driver productivity, easier serviceability and overall better performance,” Wood said.

The tractor also offers easier exit and entry for drivers with a wider door opening. Interior features include driver-friendly rocker switches, improved belly clearance with the steering wheel and space on the dash for yard-management system devices.
