End-to-End International Transportation of Large-Scale Energy Storage Systems
Designing and executing transportation solutions tailored to the specific requirements of dangerous goods and heavy cargo.
Customer：Energy storage system manufacturers / Engineering companies
Challenge (Before)
Grid-scale energy storage systems have been increasing year by year and are often transported in specially designed dedicated containers. In many cases, the equipment includes items classified as dangerous goods, making it difficult to handle through standard transportation arrangements.
In addition, transportation routes, installation environments, available vehicles, and local cargo handling conditions vary significantly from project to project. This resulted in a wide range of complex considerations, including packaging methods, arrangement of specialized vehicles, compliance with applicable regulations, and coordination with on-site operations. As a result, developing a comprehensive, end-to-end transportation plan was itself a major challenge.
