Jungheinrich is devoted to innovation and sustainability and understand the growing relevance of energy efficiency in today's industrial world. 

For instance, Jungheinrich remains committed to innovation and sustainability, with its Lithium-ion technology adoption. Jungheinrich has sold over 1,000,000 electric trucks globally (Lithium and battery electric), reducing CO2 emissions by up to 20%. This mirrors the market trend in Thailand’s Forklift Truck Market, where the electric segment is growing, reflecting a shift towards sustainability and technology in material handling. 

Jungheinrich's leadership in sustainable practices is evident through being certified as a top 1% sustainable company for three consecutive years by Ecovadis. Jungheinrich's lithium-ion batteries consume approximately 20% less energy in daily use compared to lead-acid batteries. 

Jungheinrich's dedicated refurbishment hub in Samut Prakan, Thailand, has successfully refurbished over 1,000 forklift trucks in the APAC region since its launch. By opting for a refurbished truck, CO2 emissions decrease by approximately 80% compared to purchasing a new one.
