An illustrative engagement
Electrifying a yard-tractor operation
A terminal compares an electric yard-tractor package with its current operating arrangement, including charging windows, peak power and spare-equipment requirements.

How it works
From the source to the receiving team.
- 01
Define the service requirement
Agree the cargo flow, demand scenarios, operating rules and target service level.
- 02
Assess current capacity
Review equipment availability, duty, maintenance and observed constraints.
- 03
Compare viable options
Evaluate packages and relevant operating or simulation scenarios with technical specialists.
- 04
Prepare the investment case
Present the supported recommendation, sensitivities and required confirmations.

Use the details below to assess fit with your workflow.
01 Evidence requirements5 inputs
- Demand and cargo-flow records
- Equipment duty and availability history
- Maintenance and staffing requirements
- Equipment, service and funding offers
- Energy, charging and infrastructure constraints
02 Evaluation measures4 measures
- Capacity under agreed demand scenarios
- Equipment availability and utilisation
- Sensitivity to energy and downtime assumptions
- Material procurement conditions resolved
03 Scope and outputs in detail
The programme evaluates the equipment needed to deliver a specified service, considering demand patterns, handling rules, maintenance, staffing and energy. It can support ownership, lease or electrification decisions for a defined terminal operation.
Outputs to assess
- An equipment and charging scenario
- Comparable whole-life economics
- An investment brief with technical conditions
Scope, permissions, integrations and acceptance criteria are agreed before work begins. Your authorised team retains the institutional decision.
Questions
Does every engagement require a full terminal simulation?
The method follows the decision and available evidence. Where detailed simulation or engineering assessment is necessary, specialist scope and responsibilities are agreed.
Can leased and owned equipment be compared?
Yes. The comparison represents service obligations, availability assumptions, financing and exit terms consistently for each viable package.
How are supplier performance claims treated?
Each claim retains its source, operating conditions and confirmation status. Material assumptions are tested or assigned for supplier and technical verification.
