Supply chain sustainability: shifting gears with electric forklifts and other powered industrial trucks

As governments, investors, customers and business partners demand that businesses pay more attention to their environmental impact, supply chains have become a frequent focus for emissions reduction. After all, they often account for 90% of a business’s emissions.

And as the number of suitable electric materials handling solutions continue to grow, electric powered industrial truck fleets become a more viable strategy for achieving this goal. Despite this, few operations have fully electrified their fleets.

To provide greater insight and quantify trends in supply chain sustainability and how companies are approaching powered industrial truck electrification, Peerless Research Group and Hyster Company conducted an online survey among readers of Logistics Management and Modern Materials Handling.

93% of supply chains aim to reduce emissions, but only 17% have fully electrified their powered industrial truck fleet
