The first lithium-ion powered pallet to be commercially available in the world – the Jungheinrich EJE112i powered pallet truck – has been purchased and is being trialled by Tesco. The new truck will shortly be in operation at one of the retailer’s main distribution centres.
Richard Ash, Tesco’s corporate purchasing manager, commented: “Tesco is taking up the environmental challenge and is striving to reduce carbon emissions across the business. With its low energy consumption, we believe the Jungheinrich EJE 112i truck could play a significant role in helping to reduce CO2 emissions across our materials handling fleet.”
