The three-wheel EFG MB covers load capacities from 1.6 to 2.0 tonnes, and the four-wheel EFG MC covers 2.0 to 3.0 tonnes, with lift heights of up to 6,500 mm.\n\n## What the EFG M Series Offers Asia-Pacific Buyers\n\n[PR Newswire APAC](https://en.prnasia.com/story/552345-0.shtml) reported that the EFG M series is designed for warehouses, manufacturing plants, distribution centres, retail operations, pharmaceutical facilities and general industry. The three-wheel EFG MB is built for manoeuvrability in confined spaces, while the four-wheel EFG MC provides stability and precise control for indoor and outdoor transport and stacking.\n\nCustomers can select performance, battery technology, controls, comfort, safety and digital functions. Two performance packages are available: efficiencyPLUS balances performance and energy use for everyday handling, and drive&liftPLUS delivers higher driving and lifting performance for high-throughput operations. The drive&liftPLUS package is standard on models with load capacities from 2.5 to 3.0 tonnes. Buyers can choose lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries from 346 to 690 Ah, and energy recovery during braking of up to 30 per cent helps extend uptime and reduce energy costs per shift.\n\n\"Different operations have different requirements. With the EFG M series, customers can configure the truck around their application, workload and operators – whether they need greater manoeuvrability for confined warehouse spaces or a stable, powerful truck for demanding transport and stacking work,\" said Lisa Jing Xue, Managing Director, Qingpu Plant, Jungheinrich.\n\n\"We carried out extensive customer research to understand what the market needs. Customers can invest in the performance required today and add further capabilities as their application demands,\" she added.\n\n## Telematics, Controls and Regional Service Support\n\nIntegrated telematics is standard and connects with Jungheinrich Fleet Management, making fleet data available from day one for utilisation analysis, maintenance planning, pre-operational checks and replacement decisions. Customers can select manual hydraulic levers or optional fingertip controls, with a standard 2-inch display or an optional 4-inch display. On the EFG MC, curveCONTROL is standard and automatically reduces speed when cornering.\n\n\"Every EFG M truck is backed by Jungheinrich's global team of more than 6,100 trained customer service technicians, supported by genuine Jungheinrich parts and product-specific expertise. Because the series uses proven Jungheinrich components and integrated truck data, we can support faster parts supply and more effective maintenance planning,\" said Madhukar Kaissary, Senior Director, Customer Service, Jungheinrich APAC.\n\n## Jungheinrich's Asia-Pacific Electric Portfolio\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Jungheinrich launched the value-focused AntOn by Jungheinrich sub-brand in Asia-Pacific in January 2026, with lithium-ion electric forklifts and pallet trucks for the entry-level segment. The EFG M series forms the configurable core of Jungheinrich's electric counterbalance portfolio in Asia-Pacific, alongside AntOn and the FalcOn technology platform for future heavy-duty electric handling.\n\n## Earlier Jungheinrich Product and Partnership Moves\n\nJungheinrich launched sales of its ETV 4i electric reach truck on September 1, 2026, offering load capacities from 1.4 to 2.5 tonnes and lift heights up to 14 metres, with up to 20 per cent more productivity, EuropaWire reported. In August 2026, Jungheinrich and Movu Robotics announced a strategic partnership making Jungheinrich the preferred integrator and Movu the preferred supplier for four-way shuttle systems, according to Modern Materials Handling. Jungheinrich unveiled the EAC 212a autonomous mobile robot in February 2026, scheduled for market launch in the second half of 2026, Industrial Vehicle Technology International reported.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
