Jungheinrich heralds beginning of end of diesel forklift with e-truck

The world first was announced at the group’s ‘Innovations & Highlights’ press conference in Hamburg. The new forklift should build a bridge between the diesel forklift and the electric forklift, according to Christian Erlach, member of the executive board and responsible for Sales. “The EFG P30i combines the power, robustness and driving comfort of an internal combustion engine with the economy and emission-free performance of an electric forklift. In terms of energy efficiency, ergonomics and durability, the P30i sets a new standard and should herald the beginning of the end of the diesel forklift,” Erlach said. He expects 80% of all forklifts to be equipped with li-ion batteries by 2025.
