Fuel efficient truck March 1st 2008 With fuel consumption of just
2.5L/h,* the RX70 from Still offers
fork lift truck users outstanding
efficiency, which is attributed
largely to the company's hybrid
drive technology.
The company says this figure is
even more amazing when compared
with up to 5.4L/h used by a
traditional torque converter diesel
forklift to perform the same task.
The RX 70's powerful hybrid drive
system consists of an engine
(whether running on diesel or LP
gas), which drives a generator. Via
an intelligent control unit, the
generator drives an electric
induction motor. This provides
power to the drive wheels and all
of the truck's systems. The
technology is characterised by
high overall efficiency and low fuel
consumption (just 2.5L/h*), as well
as long service life.
*Applies to the RX 70-25, 2.5t diesel in
accordance with VDI 2198 new (60 working
cycles/h). In accordance with VDI 2198 old (45
working cycles/h) fuel consumption is 2.2L/h. More articles from Still Materials Handling: |
