Hyster launches XTLG Series into the Americas

Evolving technology and equipment is a theme of this week’s news with Jungheinrich deploying sodium-ion batteries to test sites in Germany, a UK start-up confirms an order for thousands of humanoid robots and, a new partnership is making simulation training available to a global market.

Still on the theme of tech, a report from the International Federation of Robotics reveals just how quickly China is adopting artificial intelligence and robotics. The stats are eye-opening.

Also in the news this week, Hyster launches its XTLG series of integrated lithium-ion forklifts into the Americas, HD Hyundai XiteSolutions receives an order for more than 300 forklifts from the Algerian Government and LuiGong launches 12 new aerial work platforms into Canada, Mexico and Central America but not the US “because of tariffs”.
