Singapore-headquartered lithium-ion battery manufacturer Durapower has announced that up to 60 units of its battery system will be used in automated guided vehicles (AGVs) made by VDL Steelweld, a contract manufacturing, engineering and prototyping services company headquartered in the Netherlands.

The vehicles, expected to be deployed this year at a port in Busan, South Korea, will be used to transport shipping containers within the port facility.

Over the past decade, Durapower has delivered similar battery systems for AGVs and material-handling equipment for port applications in Singapore and Europe.

"This contract marks Durapower's entry into port solutions for South Korea, and we look forward to leveraging on our innovative capabilities, strong reputation, and proven track record to expand into new countries and markets," said Kelvin Lim, Chief Executive Officer of Durapower.
