Penny is the buyer
1000th Jungheinrich ETV 216i goes to Italy
Jungheinrich presented the ETV 216i to the public for the first time two years ago. At the time, it was the world's first forklift truck with an innovative lithium-ion battery concept. Jungheinrich has now delivered the 1000th ETV 216i.
The Penny grocery chain in Italy relies on lithium-ion technology. This includes an entire fleet of ETV 216i reach trucks. The current delivery from Jungheinrich to Penny Italy comprises no fewer than seven ETV 216i reach trucks, including the anniversary truck number 1000. The reach truck with integrated lithium-ion battery has become a bestseller for Jungheinrich since its launch almost two years ago. "The ETV 216i is the very first truck to consistently exploit the advantages of lithium-ion technology. This makes it the most compact and powerful reach truck in its class," explains Fabien Tozzi, Head of Product Management Reach Trucks at Jungheinrich, adding: "It pays off that we directly incorporated our customers' ideas and wishes when designing the truck."
Gianfranco Virgillo, Warehouse Manager at Penny Italy, says: "With the ETV 216i, driver comfort on board is higher than ever before. It offers more space for arms and legs and, thanks to the raised seat, better visual control of the surroundings. These significant improvements are only possible thanks to the elimination of the bulky battery tray. By integrating the battery, the design is more functional, both in terms of the rider's well-being and the resulting performance."
"We are very satisfied with our choice. Penny Market can already count 3 warehouses where we use reach trucks and order pickers with lithium-ion batteries. In view of the excellent results so far, we intend to complete the fleet renewal by 2021 and use Li-ion solutions at all other locations," says Angelo Loffredo.
