Mitsubishi Logisnext To Electrify 90% of its Forklifts

Akihiro Komuro

Mitsubishi Logisnext plans to increase the electrification rate of its forklifts from approximately 60% to 90% by 2035. The company has its roots in Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., and it specializes in high-output engine vehicles. However, the global electrification rate has already surpassed 70%, with Chinese companies leading the way in technology. To catch up, the company is introducing new models in China that align with the trend toward electrification.

“The price of lithium-ion batteries has dropped, which has led to increased customer demand for electric forklifts,” said President Maeno of Mitsubishi Logisnext. He highlighted the need to expand the company’s product lineup to meet market needs. As part of this strategy, the company plans to introduce a locally produced electric vehicle model in China by the 2025 fiscal year. The key feature is thorough “localization.” The company has adopted locally sourced batteries, motors, hydraulic components, and other parts to reduce prices to levels comparable to those of Chinese manufacturers. Until now, the company has sold vehicles developed in Japan but has struggled against low-priced local competitors. In China, battery prices have fallen rapidly due to the increased popularity of electric vehicles (EVs). Mitsubishi Logisnext has adopted a “when in Rome, do as the Romans do” strategy to counter this trend. Depending on sales performance, the company plans to expand into markets such as Southeast Asia.

Volvo Announces World’s First Electric Articulated Hauler

Guy Youngs

The star of the recent Bauma-Germany 2025 show is arguably the game-changing A30 Electric articulated hauler. It’s the first vehicle of its kind in what is both a key industrial segment for Volvo and a world’s first for a series production BEV in its class – 60-years since Volvo revolutionized the construction industry with the launch of Gravel Charlie, the world’s first articulated hauler.

The Volvo A30 Electric offers a 64,000 lb. (32 ton)/23.3 cubic yard payload capacity and “full day” operation thanks to its 245 kWh li-ion battery.

2025 NA Trenchers Production

Carol Turner

4,200 units is the estimate by Power Systems Research of the number of Trenchers expected to be produced in the United States in 2025.

A Portable/Walk-Behind Trencher is used to dig trenches, especially for laying pipes or cables, for installing drainage, or in preparation for trench warfare. Trenchers range in size from walk-behind models, to attachments for a skid loader or tractor, to very heavy tracked heavy equipment.

Riding Trenchers are used to dig trenches, especially for laying pipes or cables, for installing drainage, or in preparation for trench warfare.

This product information comes from industry interviews and from two proprietary databases maintained by Power Systems Research: EnginLink™ , which provides information on engines, and OE Link™, a database of equipment manufacturers. PSR

Tadano Electrifies World’s Largest Cranes

Akihiro Komuro
JAPAN REPORT
Akihiro Komuro
Akihiro Komuro

Tadano, a major manufacturer of cranes, has converted one of its crawler cranes, which can lift up to 1600 tons, to electric power. By changing the power source from a diesel engine to an electric motor, the company has been able to maintain the performance of the existing product while reducing CO2 emissions to zero. The company converted its CC 88.1600-1 lattice boom crawler crane to electric power. This is a large crane equipped with crawlers instead of tires, and is used in plant and bridge construction, as well as wind power installation.

The electrified crane is connected by cable to the main unit and power supply equipment, and two 390-kilowatt electric motors drive the hydraulic pump. There are no CO2 emissions during operation. Compared to existing products powered by diesel engines, this crane will reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 55 tons per year. The crane itself will be manufactured in Germany, while the electrification equipment will be produced in Japan. The crane is expected to go on sale in the summer of 2025 as part of the company’s EVOLT line of electrified products.

2025 NA Dumpers/Tenders Production

Carol Turner

1,200 units is the estimate by Power Systems Research of the number of Dumpers/Tenders expected to be produced in North America in 2025.

Dumpers/Tenders are vehicles designed for carrying bulk material, often on building sites. Dumpers are distinguished from dump trucks by configuration: a dumper is usually an open 4-wheeled vehicle with the load skip in front of the driver, while a dump truck has its cab in front of the load.

Utility style models are versatile and are extremely popular with homeowners.  Dumper/Tenders, commonly referred to as the Power Buggy, are sought after pieces of equipment, much faster than a conventional wheelbarrow and can accelerate job site related activities. 

This product information comes from industry interviews and from two proprietary databases maintained by Power Systems Research: EnginLink™ , which provides information on engines, and OE Link™, a database of equipment manufacturers.

Exports: About 15% worldwide.

Market Share. With 58% of total units produced, Country Home Products leads in production of Dumpers/Tenders in North America. In second position is Allen Engineering with 25%; third, Power Buggy (Indy) 13%. PSR
