Canada based UgoWork has received OEM approval to integrate its lithium-ion battery systems with Linde material handling equipment, a flagship brand under KION.
This essentially creates a multi supplier, flexible energy ecosystem – read -more options, for forklift customers of Linde.
Li-on batteries are crucial for multi shift warehouses like e-commerce, cold chains and FMCG as they charge faster , have longer lifecycles compared to their lead acid counterparts and require maintenance, Li-On batteries over all have a better safety profile as they show better stability in extreme temperatures.
Ugo which has its energy management platform has been pushing the energy as a service model through various of its offerings in integrated charging infra and fleet level energy optimisation.
Kion is the worlds 2nd largest forklift manufacturer and present over 100 countries with its products forming part of most modern plants, the move helps the company build more flexible and energy efficient supply chains.
The overall move is aligned with decoupling of Energy and the forklift OEM and paves way for context based energy solutions in the future.
