To achieve emission reduction targets, Gammon Construction introduced Hong Kong’s first battery-powered crawler crane on Tuesday. The new crawler crane could have a net carbon saving of nearly 76 metric tonnes of CO2e annually. In addition, the crawler crane comes with a 95% recyclable battery with a short charging time of 4.5 hours. Gammon Chief Executive Kevin O’Brien stated that introducing the first electric crawler crane to Hong Kong demonstrates the company’s commitment towards net zero. The builder is setting two targets for 2033: cutting 55 percent of the company’s absolute energy-related emissions and reducing the company’s indirect emissions by 33 percent.
