Environmental Responsibility in Logistics
Environmental responsibility is a topic of ever growing importance in our society
On the one hand, trends such as the development of renewable energy and electro mobility are quickly gaining speed, on the other, regulations concerning exhaust emission standards concerning the use of conventional engine powered vehicles are becoming stricter all the time.
Alongside energy efficiency, the reduction of pollutants is of primary concern with regards to any ecological agenda. With regards to in-house logistical operations, these two topics are strongly linked to various vehicle drive types.
This means that the primary question concerning the usage of forklifts trucks has become "Electric or Engine?"
In the following you will see:
- that you are able to be environmentally responsible - and even profit from - using both electric powered as well as engine powered trucks
- why the demand for electric trucks in Europe has been growing since 2009
- the strengths and optimal conditions for the use for each drive type
- things that you should know concerning legal regulations as well as emission standards using practical examples which show you where you will be able to save money and increase efficiency.
STILL Lithium-Ion technology
The future is here
Li-Ion batteries are efficient, compact energy bundles that convince with high availability. Thanks to their long service life, absence of acid and recyclability they are very eco-friendly. STILL has already developed many industrial trucks with this technology.

The Changing World of Intralogistics − Europe is going Electric
Why the demand for electric lifts in Europe has been growing since 2009?
The tendency to move towards electro mobility applies as well to in-house logistics operations. Factors such as energy and maintenance expense, ever rising oil and diesel prices, and overall vehicle costs are becoming increasingly important.
The critical question when buying a forklift: "Electric or Engine?"
The key to deciding lies in the vehicle's operational profile
What are the strengths of electric and combustion motor forklifts? Which type of truck is best suited for different areas of use? And under which conditions do the different trucks provide the greatest potential for savings?
