## Key facts

- **Kempower Canada terminal charging framework (company-stated Sep 2026):** Company-stated via [Kempower](/companies/kempower.md) ([company-stated](https://kempower.com/news/kempower-and-dp-world-sign-framework-agreement-bringing-fast-charging-solutions-to-port-operations-across-canada/)): DP World Canada standardized on Kempower DC fast charging across its Canadian terminals under a framework agreement. DP World operates five Canadian port terminals (Vancouver, Fraser Surrey, Nanaimo, Prince Rupert, Saint John) with Contrecoeur (Port of Montreal) under construction for ~2030. First-phase Kempower build is 46 satellites / 4.4 MW at Vancouver, Fraser Surrey, and Prince Rupert (Vancouver active). Cap: Kempower primary quoting DP World Canada CEO Doug Smith; not a DP World-hosted release fetched this pass
- **Einride electric freight at Jebel Ali (primary DP World):** DP World (Mar 19 2025) said it launched an electric freight solution at Jebel Ali Port with Einride under a May 2024 partnership to electrify inter-terminal container flows. The release says the first wave was running around the clock and was set to move over 204,000 twenty-foot containers annually, with a later full fleet aimed at moving 2 million TEU annually and laying groundwork for future autonomous deployment. Treat throughput and autonomy timeline claims as company-stated ([DP World](https://www.dpworld.com/en/news/releases/uae/dp-world-expands-electric-freight-operations-at-jebel-ali-port-in-partnership-with-einride))
- **Autonomous ITVs Jebel Ali (primary DP World):** DP World reported a deal with DGWORLD to introduce autonomous internal terminal vehicles (ITVs) at Jebel Ali Port to boost operational efficiency in container moves.
