Designing for sustainability opens up exciting possibilities for creating eco-friendly solutions that are not only more reliable but also deliver better performance. By making changes to materials, refining processes, and adopting lean manufacturing practices, we’re actively reducing the carbon footprint of our AGVs. These positive changes have a lasting impact throughout the vehicle’s lifespan, aligning with our commitment to sustainability and environmental preservation. The latest CB750 AGV from JBT proudly incorporates a series of design enhancements, showcasing our unwavering dedication to continuous improvement, with a strong emphasis on sustainability.
Our new all-electric CB750 is all about making things better: it’s more efficient, operates cleaner, and requires less maintenance. One of the key sustainability upgrades we’ve made is switching from a hydraulic-powered lifting system to an all-electric actuated system. This change not only reduces the vehicle’s carbon footprint but also eliminates the need for 10 gallons of hydraulic fluid, 40 feet of hydraulic hoses, and numerous hydraulic valves and other related hardware. Another opportunity for sustainable design came when we switched the covers from a non-recyclable plastic to an environmentally-friendly aluminum, ensuring a cleaner carbon life cycle for the vehicle.
Our all-electric actuated system is a real game-changer! It not only saves materials but also makes our product incredibly efficient, using 20% less energy compared to a hydraulic AGV of similar capacity. This not only slashes energy bills but also shrinks our carbon footprint, and it gets even better for our customers. With reduced energy consumption, they can enjoy longer uptime between charges. This not only means they can get away with smaller fleets but also significantly reduces their own carbon footprint. It’s a win-win for everyone and for the planet! ðŸŒðŸ’š
Our new CB750 design upgrades bring a sustainable solution right to our customers’ doorstep. With every new fleet of these all-electric AGVs, they’ll be saving the environment from hundreds of gallons of hydraulic oil and hundreds of feet of hydraulic hose. Plus, the carbon footprint of their operations will shrink throughout the entire lifespan of these vehicles. Our product doesn’t just stop at efficiency; it’s here to make our customers’ operations cleaner, more efficient, and to help them reach their sustainability goals. 😊
