Environment

Climate

We are committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with the 1.5°C warming scenario, which is the most ambitious goal of the Paris Agreement. Kalmar, Bromma’s parent company, has approved near and long-term science-based emissions reduction targets with the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). In our own operations, we are reducing GHG emissions through:
  • Solar-powered operations: Approximately 40–45% of our manufacturing facility’s energy comes from on-site solar panels
  • Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs): The remaining energy is backed by RECs, ensuring a full clean-energy supply
  • Electric forklift transition: our facility in Ipoh, Malaysia, has converted 8 forklifts (2.5-ton) to electric and operates 9 electric units, with ongoing plans to fully electrify the fleet

Circularity

We foresee many opportunities to contribute to a circular economy while capturing profitable growth through new business models and solutions. Our main circularity work focuses on product design and expanding the lifetime of our products.

As our business is based on manufacturing large and heavy equipment, our operation is highly dependent on finite resources, such as steel. Therefore, by advancing circularity, and for example, replacing virgin steel with recycled steel and alternative materials, we can ensure that our business remains resilient and competitive. Also by providing more service, including lifecycle solutions, we can keep Bromma spreaders operating longer and more efficiently, meaning less virgin resources are needed and less waste is generated along our value chain.

All-Electric Spreader Solutions

Bromma’s sustainable solutions

Bromma is leading the way with products and innovations. Our goal is to help our customers achieve their sustainability objectives and efficiently reduce their carbon footprint. We do this by making it easy to transition from hydraulic to all-electric spreaders. In addition, we continuously develop solutions that optimise energy consumption for our hydraulic spreaders.

Bromma STS45E G2

The fastest all-electric ship-to-shore spreader on the market, the Bromma STS45E G2 is a twin-lift spreader that helps ports reduce their environmental impact without sacrificing productivity.  
  • Reduced energy consumption: Uses up to 90% less energy than hydraulic models.
  • Zero hydraulic oil leakage: Eliminates the risk of costly and environmentally damaging oil spills.
  • Silent operation: Significantly quieter than hydraulic spreaders.
  • High performance: All-electric design ensures fast and efficient operations.

YSX40E and YSX45E

The YSX40 & 45E are all-electric yard crane spreaders. With over 5,000 units delivered worldwide, they are a proven solution for ports looking to reduce their energy consumption and carbon footprint.  
  • Reduced Energy Consumption: Uses up to 85% less energy than hydraulic spreaders.
  • Environmentally Safe: The all-electric design eliminates the risk of oil spills.
  • Silent Operation: Operates much more quietly.
  • Proven Reliability: A trusted choice for yard crane applications globally.
