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the new XLTG forklift models, ranging from 4 to 7 tons in a completely emission-free package combustion engine has been replaced by a lithium-ion battery and a permanent magnet motor.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.
Cool even when idling
Cool even when idling
A new lithium-ion battery developed and manufactured by Thermo King enables constant cooling, fuel savings, and uninterrupted temperature control during electric vehicle in inner -city areas.
Thermoking has developed battery pack specifically designed for its all-electric E-200 refrigeration units . The lithium-ion battery is available in 1.8 kWh and 3.6 kWh versions. Combined with the E-200 units, the battery pack provides a zero-emission solution for temperature -controlled transport, even when the driver stops for deliveries, takes a break, or needs to park the vehicle for a period of time.
Product Manager Eneko Fernandez: "The trend toward electrification will continue, with machines being further optimized to power the compressor not with a diesel engine, but with a battery system. We want to push the boundaries of what's possible in our industry and have developed our own lithium-ion battery pack, which is fully integrated into the machine's system, so users fully the benefits of sustainable energy management ."

The battery pack was developed for mid-sized delivery vans and trucks. Unlike typical light truck solutions for diesel combustion engines, the E-200 refrigeration units deliver constant power in up to two cooling zones, independent of the vehicle engines, and work with both electric and conventional vehicles. This environmentally sustainable method of powering the unit during delivery or break-related stops is particularly important for home deliveries and other urban transport operations involving frequent deliveries and door openings, short travel distances, and repeated stops in traffic. This allows fleet managers to be confident that cargo is consistently cooled and that temperature fluctuations are avoided. The solution is also compatible with the vehicle's start/stop functions, which provide additional fuel savings.
The system can be via a single control system and is integrated into the telematics system. The charging plug and charger are designed for quick and clean installation on the driver's side . Installation takes place under the passenger seat in most vehicle models. In standby mode, cooling and charging of the battery occur simultaneously.
