Beijing-headquartered Sany Robotics has delivered 40 electric forklifts to the Abu Samra Border logistics project in Qatar; its single largest forklift order for the Middle East to date.

Sany Robotics, a subsidiary of Sany Group, says the forklifts are equipped with IP67-rated core systems with liquid cooling, making them suitable for operations across ports, factories, chemical plants, and cold-chain logistics.

The forklifts integrate autonomous driving and AI technology which Sany says creates “a low-carbon, intelligent logistics ecosystem”.

Further details about the forklifts themselves were not released.

Sany says its forklifts are now in use in more than 50 countries, while Sany Heavy Industries is this investing 5% (USD300 million) of its revenue on research and development.
