Coop delivers to Zurich by rail
Coop has opened a new rail transshipment hub in the heart of Zurich. The company now supplies the metropolis on the Limmat River by freight train, thus saving the urban center an estimated 58,000 truck journeys per year . A success for its own "Railcare" division.
Reduce rolling resistance
Amidst the discussion about new drive systems, it's easy to forget that there are other vehicle components that also contribute significantly to reducing CO2 emissions. Tire manufacturer Goodyear offers up to 13% lower rolling resistance with its " Kmax Gen-3 " .
The little brother of the FM-X
Powerful, high-performing, and always there when needed. According to the manufacturer, the new FXR 14C-16C would not only be every mother-in-law's dream, but also that of warehouse staff. This compact pusher excels even in small warehouses and narrow aisles.
Emission-free package bundled
Nachtergaele, Hyster has bundled the new XLTG forklift models, ranging from 4 to 7 tons in a completely emission-free package combustion engine has been replaced by a lithium-ion battery and a permanent magnet motor.
The Ultimate Order Picking Solution
It could also be called "RoboCap" or "RoCapture". But now it's the "RoCaP", with which Linde MH and Rossmann, one of the largest drugstore chains in Europe, are launching a novel robotic vehicle with a multi-axis gripper arm for autonomous order picking in the warehouse.
Plant service with a fun factor
It's well known that service contributes around 40% to the success of many companies. At transport.ch at Bernexpo, workshop and service vehicles arrived as electric vehicles, also contributing to a humorous improvement in work-life balance: with a surfboard on the roof – for surfing before work.
Women in a male-dominated field
The third meeting of the "Young Ladies", young women in the transport sector, brought together around 65 young female talents as well as experienced logistics professionals at transport.ch, by Monika Erb and Ramona Felder with support from Urs Gerber, CEO of Volvo Switzerland.
What actually belongs together
None of the leading manufacturers in the industrial truck sector missed out on being present at this year's transport.ch trade fair in Bern. Leading the way was Jungheinrich as a premium partner of the fair, featuring the "Dunking Devils" from Slovenia, who delivered acrobatic performances at the basketball hoop.
What will drive us tomorrow
“What will drive us tomorrow” was a question that was by no means easy to answer at the “Mobility Forum,” which attracted a number of prominent participants at this year’s transport.ch trade fair in the Bernexpo Congress Center . The trail clearly leads to electric drive – but also to other alternatives.
A brilliant start in Bern
The commercial vehicle trade fair transport.ch got off to a brilliant start in the Swiss capital after a successful opening event on the first day, which was attended by several hundred participants. A well-attended Mobility Forum showcased the current state of technological developments.
