Hoppoke transforms Freightroute’s fleet to make it more ‘green’

VonMarkus Jaklitsch

Palletised freight delivery company Freightroute has seen operational benefits and reduced costs after replacing its diesel materials handling fleet with electric forklifts.

Having started the changeover to a more sustainable fleet in 2019, by swapping some of its diesel engine machines for battery-powered counterbalance trucks, Freightroute teamed up with Hoppecke to complete the move and maximise the benefits.

Hoppecke analysed the set-up, then fitted a batcoms datalogger to the existing truck batteries. Using the results to gain an understanding of Freightroute’s daily operational requirements, Hoppecke was able to increase battery capacity by 30%.
