The Li-ion solutions offer several advantages toconsumers. Recently, the company launched an entirely new series ofenergy-efficient electric trucks with technical upgrades. The electric forklifttrucks are ideal for classic forklift truck applications involving loading andunloading.
They are suitable for occasional use intwo-shift operations under light to medium operating conditions and comeequipped with integrated side shifts and the option to add attachments. Outdooruse is also possible with the outdoor option package (IPX5).
The new reach truck (ETV M series) isavailable with different performance packages. These reach trucks are anexcellent choice for drive-in racking and stacking in warehouses, offering highlifting heights, high residual capacity, an integrated lithium-ion batterysolution, and low energy consumption, which ultimately saves time and money.
Additionally, the company provides standard andoptional assistance systems to ensure the highest level of safety andprotection for various applications.
Key product features include:
- Maximum throughput with the lowestenergy consumption,
- High residual capacity for increasedthroughput,
- A new electric system for enhancedsafety and more options, as well as
- An integrated Li-ion battery solution.
The company also offers tailor-made optionalfeatures to suit all applications. These products cater to a wide range ofindustries, including logistics, retail, manufacturing, and e-commerce.
At Jungheinrich, the priority is onsustainability and recognizing the importance of technology and digitalizationin the product offerings. Their recent acquisitions of innovative roboticscompanies, such as Arculus and Magazino, have strengthened their presence inthe automation segment, expanding their existing mobile robot portfolio.
Sustainability is in Jungheinrich's DNA, and theirbusiness revolves around the environmental, social, and economicresponsibilities. The products and solutions offered by Jungheinrich play asignificant role in driving the sustainable transformation of theintralogistics sector.
As part of their corporate strategy for 2025+,Jungheinrich has announced measurable sustainability targets. These targetsencompass greenhouse gas emissions reduction, effective waste management, andensuring occupational health and safety. This commitment aligns with theirlong-term goal to become a sustainability enabler.
As a publicly listed family-owned company,Jungheinrich places ecological, social, and economic responsibility at theforefront of all their business activities. In India, they exclusively provideelectric-based equipment with a lower carbon footprint.
In addition to electric motors and drivecontrols, Jungheinrich also manufactures matching lithium-ion batteries andchargers, which are available for almost all of their trucks. These batteriesnot only offer the advantages of shorter recharge times and longer lifespansbut are also far less damaging to the environment.
Jungheinrich India has taken steps to reduce itsenvironmental impact by installing solar panels in their recently inauguratedIntegrated Facility in Bhiwandi. This facility operates entirely on a renewableenergy model.
Their commitment to sustainability andenvironmental conservation is unwavering, and the company has made asubstantial long-term pledge. For every truck that they sell each year, thecompany pledges to plant an equivalent number of trees, thereby ensuring aharmonious balance between business growth and ecological responsibility.
Sustainability plays a key role in theirstrategy. The company has taken great care to implement sustainable practicesthroughout various stages of their product lifecycle.
Their products are designed with eco-designcriteria in mind, including factors such as power consumption, ease ofrecycling, and the use of environmentally friendly materials. Their entireproduct range can be catered with Li-Ion batteries, which significantly reduceenergy consumption.
Moreover, Jungheinrich has their ownrefurbishment facility which gives second life to machines. This approachallows them to extend the lifecycle of forklifts. Utilizing refurbishedmachines results in an impressive 80 per cent reduction in CO2emissions compared to producing new machines.
As sustainability leaders, Jungheinrich is notonly transforming their own company but they also possess the uniqueopportunity to positively influence their customers' business activitiesthrough their products and solutions. Their latest product series, named thePOWERLiNE, launched in Europe represents a significant milestone as it becomesthe first line of their trucks to achieve carbon neutrality upon delivery to theirvalued customers.
Throughout the entire lifecycle of JungheinrichPOWERLiNE series, they have implemented steps throughout product lifecycle, arange of measures aimed at minimizing emissions that may adversely affect theecological balance of their trucks.

This comprehensive approach ensuresthat they are not only delivering top-notch products but also activelycontributing to a more sustainable and environmentally responsible future.
Climate protection is one of the most importantissues of our time. And, thanks to the unbeatable energy efficiency of thelithium-ion trucks, it not only reduces daily energy consumption, andconsequently, costs by ~20 per cent compared to lead-acid alternatives.Moreover, customers also reduce their CO2 footprint.
The company works tirelessly to improve energyconsumption throughout the entire production process, mainly using energy fromsustainable energy sources, such as their own photovoltaic systems, and canguarantee a CO2-neutral footprint right up to the time of deliveryof their POWERLiNE trucks.
