Reliable charging and energy stability are more critical than ever as warehouses and ports move toward decarbonisation. Volvo Penta’s Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) subsystems can be a part of turnkey BESS solutions to deliver compact, transportable, and high-density energy, contributing towards accelerating electrification and meeting growing energy needs at ports.

Words of support …

These releases in Forkliftaction are a nice experience for SNDC... We got seven inquiries coming from Canada, USA, Mexico, Israel and Australia (five from retailers, two from machines manufacturers) and we are still in contact with them. I can state that's a success story!
