Award Honours Green Credentials of JCB's Electric Teletruk

摘要

JCB has lifted a top award honouring the environmental benefits of its new all-electric telescopic forklift. The JCB Teletruk was launched in 1997 and remains the world's only telescopic lift truck to offer users the benefit of forward reach thanks to its telescopic boom. Now the new electric version of this popular machine - the JCB 30-19E - has won The Environment Award from the Fork Lift Truck Association (FLTA), Europe's leading trade body for the materials handling industry. Judges said the machine - the world's first electric telescopic forklift - was "ideal for urban environments" thanks to its zero emissions and low noise levels. JCB has received a statuette - known as an 'Archie' - to mark the success.
