Red Dot Design Award

22 July 2015

The manoeuvrability and responsiveness of the Mitsubishi EDiA EX have led to it being awarded the prestigious Red Dot Design Award for Innovation 2015.


The 80V electric truck is agile in small spaces, comfortable, easy and responsive to drive. It can be used both indoors and out - with no modifications or compromises.


Its four-wheel differential steering system allows the back wheels to turn by 100°, whilst at the front, twin drive motors act independently, ensuring a high degree of control even on slippery surfaces. 


The Intelligent Cornering System anticipates all characteristics ahead of – and throughout – the turn for a smooth, safe and swifter cornering performance, allowing this large truck to operate safely in small spaces. As there is no initial 'push' tyre wear, as well as stock and shelving damage, is reduced.


The truck's Sensitive Drive System (SDS) is said to deliver unrivalled responsiveness and predictability – something that Mitsubishi designers define as 'driveability'. Software enables the truck to sense – from the very first touch – exactly how a driver wishes to operate and automatically adjusts the machine’s reactions and performance accordingly, increasing driver confidence and productivity.


The all-weather EDiA EX features IPX weatherproofing throughout, effective even in heavy rain. 


The EDiA EX is said to have the power and capacity of an IC engine truck but with the versatility, programmability and economy of a clean 80V AC power source.
