Dreher Breweries has replaced its forklift trucks with zero-emission electric vehicles
We are proud that Dreher Breweries is the first member company within the European headquarters, Asahi Europe and International, to operate its entire fleet of forklift trucks with renewable energy.
The new electric forklifts, powered by lithium-ion batteries, are state-of-the-art material handling equipment. They are more ergonomic, easier to operate and quieter than the previous fleet that had internal combustion engines. The new cabs are more comfortable, wider and offer better visibility, making loading safer. The forklifts are also equipped with intelligent camera system, making them much safer – for example, if they see a pedestrian on the road, they slow down automatically.
An additional advantage of electrically powered forklifts is that they can be connected to a charger at any time, for any length of time, which helps them to be used without interruption.
The new vehicles are fully compliant with the 2030 sustainability guidelines of Asahi Europe and International, as they have zero carbon emission.
