Description:
The world is moving towards an electrified future, and the material handling industry is ahead of the curve. Lead acid battery technology has been a stable and prevalent powertrain option for decades, a familiar standard in the industry like liquid propane. Alternatively, Lithium-ion is the on the rise providing material handling professionals more options than ever before. Two electric options and a decades long history of electric product make for a unique and complex environment. What does the future of lithium-ion technology look like? Will the product adapt to the battery technology or remain stable?
Mike Brown, director of Energy Solutions at Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas, will discuss the present state of electrification, the future of lithium-ion, and the speed of technology in the material handling industry.
Key Takeaways:
Electrification Trend: The world is electrifying with the rise of lithium-ion batteries while the material handling industry is ahead of the electrification curve through the widespread adoption of established lead acid technology. This duality presents a unique and complex view of the global electrification trend.
Speed of Technology: Lithium-ion battery technology is evolving at a rapid pace, with the potential to disrupt product design and integration in the material handling industry.
