Jungheinrich launches electric forklifts designed for Asian markets
Jungheinrich has launched a new range of electric forklifts aimed at Asian markets.
The German maker says the EFG MB and MC models are designed for the region’s tight warehouses and factories, with capacities from 1.6 to 3 tons.
Buyers can configure the trucks for different workloads, choosing between an energy-efficient package and one with more driving and lifting power.
Models rated for 2.5 to 3 tons come with the higher-performance package and can use lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries.
Regenerative braking can recover up to 30% of stopping and lowering energy, helping the forklifts run longer between charges.
Orders are now open for the three- and four-wheel models, which Jungheinrich says will be supported by its service network across Asia-Pacific.
Jungheinrich launched its next-generation EFG MB and MC electric counterbalance forklifts for Asian markets.
The forklifts are in the 1.6- to 3-ton class and are designed for tight warehouses and factories.
Customers can choose between two performance packages and select battery options to suit different workloads.
The forklifts include regenerative braking that can recover up to 30% of energy used when stopping and lowering loads.
Orders are open for three- and four-wheel models, backed by Jungheinrich’s service network across Asia-Pacific.

What people are saying
Different operations have different requirements,
With the EFG M series, customers can configure the (forklift) truck around their application, workload and operators – whether they need greater maneuverability for confined warehouse spaces, or a stable, powerful truck for demanding transport and stacking work.
We carried out extensive customer research to understand what the market needs,
Customers can invest in the performance required today and add further capabilities as their application demands.
