Jungheinrich Powertrain Solutions

Powerful solutions for environments in which maximum performance, robustness and efficiency are required.

Maximum electrical power and efficiency, especially for heavy-duty use. Can be used both indoors or outdoors, for example on a construction site.

Low-noise, emission-free electric motors create a more peaceful environment and improve animal welfare.

Yes! With the correct design, the same performance values can be achieved both at maximum drawbar pull and at top speed. Since it is even possible to reach maximum torque during downtime, an electric truck feels even more powerful than a combustion engine with comparable performance. In addition, the working hydraulics have their own motor, which works independently of the drive motor. In contrast to a combustion engine, the drive system and working drives do not have to share power, but can both run at full power at the same time. In addition, the removal of the inching pedal makes operation much simpler.

Since Jungheinrich Powertrain Solutions are based on series-tested standard components and systems that are already in use in Jungheinrich trucks, things can move very quickly. The speed of progress naturally depends on many factors, for example the requirements for the system architecture and the truck software. The speed of your development, testing and approval processes is also crucial. From experience, the average project takes approximately 2 years from kick-off and preliminary study to SOP. However, it has been possible to get trucks ready for series production in less than 12 months.

Yes! Robustness and weather resistance play an important role, especially for construction and agricultural machinery. All components that are used in our industrial trucks have to withstand extreme vibration and shock loads. The extremely solid plastic-covered tyres that are common on forklift trucks can tolerate much higher loads than the pneumatic tyres that are usually found on construction and agricultural machinery. Our trucks and the components installed in them must also meet stringent requirements with regard to ambient temperature and impermeability, for example where the same truck will be used in a cold store at -40°C and at an ambient temperature of +40°C. Last but not least, almost all of the components that we offer at Jungheinrich Powertrain Solutions are IP67 rated as a minimum requirement.

When looking at overall costs, the energy consumption must be calculated over the entire life cycle of the truck. Lithium-ion trucks have a clear advantage in this respect. If we take one of Jungheinrich's most popular truck models as an example: The EFG 430 with a lithium-ion battery produces around 49% less CO2 over the course of its life cycle than the DFG 430 with a conventional lead-acid battery.

In high-performance environments, electric drives really come into their own. They are a viable alternative to diesel – environmentally friendly, efficient and powerful, hitting maximum torque even at a standstill. 

In this industry, low-noise, zero-emission electric trucks contribute to a more pleasant environment. Animals and people are exposed to less noise and exhaust fumes and therefore less stress.

In airport environments, electrified drive units enable reliable, fail-safe truck operation and are more economical in all areas.

Powerful electric trucks can be used to carry out a number of tasks including waste disposal, street cleaning and transport assignments reliably and punctually, even in zero-emission zones.

Regardless of the application, we will find the perfect solution from our range and adapt it to suit your needs.
