Large-scale fleet conversion to li-ion power.
Lantmaennen cuts operating costs by 20% with new lithium-ion fleet.
Lantmaennen Unibake, one of Northern Europe´s leading agricultural cooperatives, set itself the ambitious target of reducing its CO2 emissions by around 80% by 2020. Thanks to Jungheinrich, even its cold-storage fleet now runs on energy-efficient li-ion power – with a lower total cost of ownership.
Challenges
- Very large agriculture and food operator – diverse fleet requirements.
- Significant increase in energy efficiency required.
- Ambitious target of reducing CO2 emissions by around 80% by 2020.
- Material-handling vehicles transported on lorries; limited time for re-charging.

- Large-scale fleet upgrade implemented.
- More than 220 new Jungheinrich li-ion-powered trucks, forklifts and stackers supplied.
- Innovative modification to EJE trucks to protect batteries from sub-zero effects.
- Customised chargers installed into lorries to enable li-ion charging on the road.
Benefits
- 20% reduction in energy savings per year.
- Overall operating costs down by 20%.
- On the road charging: chargers in lorries boost productivity.
- Trucks operate successfully in sub-zero environment.
