Large-scale fleet conversion to li-ion power.
Lantmaennen cuts operating costs by 20% with new lithium-ion fleet.
Lantmaennen Unibake, one of Northern Europe´s leading agricultural cooperatives, set itself the ambitious target of reducing its CO2 emissions by around 80% by 2020. Thanks to Jungheinrich, even its cold-storage fleet now runs on energy-efficient li-ion power – with a lower total cost of ownership.
