Move2Green program
Clean power for cargo always on the move
Move2Green is Kalmar's five-year ‘Veturi’ program, beginning in 2025. The program’s aim is to advance the elimination of all carbon emissions in heavy material handling through a focus on electrification and data-enabled services. The vision of the program is to enable our customers’ net-zero logistics chains in ports, terminals, and other heavy industrial logistics by 2045.
Kalmar will collaborate with the Move2Green ecosystem to develop electrification technologies and related business for zero emission heavy material handling equipment as well as find suitable alternative energy sources for solutions that promote local energy production and self-sufficiency. By developing and integrating innovative technologies and data- and AI-enabled services to optimise logistics operations, the program aims to develop high-value clean energy solutions for global markets as well as novel value creation models with strong focus on circularity and lifecycle aspects.
The program is partly funded by Business Finland through the Leading company challenge competitions. Kalmar, as the Leading company, will receive 20 million euros and will build an ecosystem of 150 partners, including industrial organizations, technology companies, research institutions, and universities, to advance the program's mission. Additionally, the ecosystem partners can receive up to 50 million euros of funding.

Business Finland's Leading Company Funding
Through Leading company challenge competitions, Business Finland seeks research and development projects for funding from companies that operate globally or aim for global operations. These projects should tackle major future challenges and make a significant impact on Finland’s competitiveness. Leading companies are expected to significantly increase their R&D activities in Finland and build ecosystems aimed at new business ventures. In addition to funding the leading company’s projects, Business Finland also offers funding for R&D projects from partners within leading companies’ ecosystem.
Finnish ecosystem partners can apply for project funding from Business Finland according to their funding schemes. Ecosystem partners can access up to 50 million euros of funding from Business Finland. We also welcome non-Finnish companies, though Business Finland funding does not apply in these cases. In addition, the ecosystem partners can apply for EU funding opportunities.

The global demand for zero-emission solutions is growing rapidly, and this change represents a significant market opportunity for Kalmar and the Move2Green ecosystem. Together with our ecosystem partners, we will develop the energy and data infrastructure to make efficient and safe zero emission solutions possible.
