Jungheinrich delivers 100,000th lithium-ion truck
Jungheinrich delivers its 100,000th truck with a lithium-ion battery. The ETV 216i reach truck went to the Amazon warehouse in Leipzig together with 15 identical trucks, where around 140 other Jungheinrich electric trucks are already in use.
"The delivery of the 100,000th lithium-ion truck is a special milestone for us at Jungheinrich that we are very proud of. As a pioneer of electromobility in the warehouse, we were the first manufacturer to rely on efficient lithium-ion technology, thereby changing our industry for the long term," explains Jungheinrich Board Member for Sales Christian Erlach.
In 2011, Jungheinrich was the world's first manufacturer of industrial trucks to launch a series-produced truck with a lithium-ion battery. Since then, the technology has developed into the fastest-growing battery technology for industrial trucks. It impresses with reliably high performance with reduced energy consumption, fast charging times, maintenance-free operation and a long service life. In 2018, Jungheinrich was the first manufacturer to launch trucks with a fully integrated lithium-ion battery. Jungheinrich aims to achieve a 70 per cent share of lithium-ion trucks in the fleet sold by 2025.
The ETV 216i delivered to the Amazon warehouse in Leipzig is a Jungheinrich Powerline truck. In terms of design and construction, the Powerline trucks utilize all the advantages of the lithium-ion battery: They are shorter, safer and more comfortable than any industrial trucks before them. Another special feature of the POWERLiNE: the vehicles are completelyCO2-neutral until they are delivered to the customer. This is ensured by particularly sustainable and energy-efficient production and certified measures to offset the emissions that are currently still unavoidable during production. Jungheinrich invests in solar, wind power and biomass projects for this purpose.
