With more and more businesses aiming to reduce their emissions and fuel costs, many are moving from diesel and LPG forklifts to electric models and considering lithium-ion batteries.
But the main concern we still see amongst customers is whether a more environmentally friendly operation will be able to cope with operational demand.
Electric alternatives, like the Mitsubishi EDiA range, provide high performance while eliminating harmful emissions. Unlike IC trucks, they don’t produce exhaust fumes, making them ideal for indoor applications.
Electric trucks have fewer moving parts, making them easier to maintain whilst reducing downtime. This translates to significant cost savings over time. They are also more energy-efficient, converting power into usable outputs to reduce operational costs and improve efficiency.
We understand that many people still have queries and concerns when it comes to switching to an electric truck. However, we have made sure that our range of electric trucks tackle these pain points with patented technology such as AutoBoost which delivers full power when it’s needed most. It’s both automatic and seamless while helping to reduce the environmental impact of your operation.
We see lithium-ion batteries being used more and more every day. But why?
They have faster charging, a longer lifespan, and no need for battery swaps. Compared to standard lead acid, lithium-ion batteries charge quicker, consume less energy, and last longer, helping businesses to cut their environmental impact.
Plus, lithium-ion can be charged at any time with no need for battery swaps, so shifts can run efficiently without unnecessary interruption.
A recent study found that 40% of workers cited noise pollution as the most frustrating part of their job. That annoyance doesn’t just lead to distraction; it lowers morale and efficiency across the board.
We have addressed this problem by adding key features across our EDiA range. For example, EDiA XL comes with a sealed rubber cabin that reduces microvibrations and noise pollution, creating a calmer and more comfortable working environment. EDiA also features the quietest lift on the market, producing just 65 dBA – helping your team stay focused and relaxed throughout the day.
Pioneering company AquaSpira wanted to reduce its embodied carbon by half and lessen its environmental impact. As part of this initiative, the manufacturer switched its IC fleet to the Mitsubishi EDiA range, achieving emission-free operations while maintaining high productivity and safety.
AquaSpira’s new EDiA electric trucks are used to cover a large site over a varied and uneven terrain. As well as supporting cleaner operations, the fleet has the added benefit of being future-proof, given the end to the red diesel subsidies that saw the running costs of diesel trucks dramatically increase.
