Kalmar Ottawa T2E 2nd-generation electric

Included for completeness because the catalogue wants the full picture including superseded models, and because a large installed base of T2E units is still working in North American yards. Kalmar's second-generation electric terminal tractor, model years 2019 onward, superseded in 2025 by the third-generation T2 EV / OT2 EV. Three battery options: 132 kWh standard (a 3-box configuration), 176 kWh and 220 kWh, lithium-ion. Class 7 and 8, 4x2. The key engineering difference from its successor is that the T2E RETAINED A TRANSMISSION. Kalmar's own launch material for the T2 EV lists deleting the transmission in favour of a direct-drive motor on the rear axle as one of the three headline changes, alongside adding the DC FastCharge system and the active thermal management system. So T2E figures should never be used as a proxy for the current vehicle. Regulatory history that dates the vehicle usefully: the T2E was listed in the California HVIP eligible-vehicle catalog for model years 2019 and 2020 and removed on 25 March 2020, when terminal tractors moved from HVIP to the CaliforniaCORE off-road programme. CORE then removed terminal tractors entirely on 7 July 2025, declaring the category commercially mature. GAPS: no motor power, torque, GCWR, fifth-wheel rating, charging rate or battery chemistry could be found in public sources for this generation - Kalmar's current site carries only the T2 EV brochure. NO VERIFIED REFERENCE IMAGES: the archived HVIP listing carries only a placeholder graphic, and dealer inventory photography could not be resolved to stable direct image URLs. An editor wanting imagery should approach Kalmar or pull from a used-equipment listing, and must check that the photo shows a T2E and not the visually similar diesel Ottawa T2 or the newer T2 EV.
