The Case for Choosing 3-Phase AC Electric Forklift Trucks Over Vehicles Based on DC Electric, Internal Combustion or Diesel Technologies

نویسنده

چکیده

In the early 90’s, Jungheinrich was the first company to use static inverters to change the direct current of a forklift truck’s battery into 3-phase AC current, opening the door to the many benefits of AC-power (See Sidebar entitled “Chronology of three-phase AC introduction”). Today, Jungheinrich installs its proprietary AC technology in all its electric truck categories (counterbalanced models, reach trucks, very narrow aisle vehicles and electric pallet trucks, among others – See Fig. 1). It has now been tested and proven in all areas of the material handling industry.

Comparison of life cycle greenhouse gases from natural gas pathways for medium and heavy-duty vehicles.

The low-cost and abundant supply of shale gas in the United States has increased the interest in using natural gas for transportation. We compare the life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from different natural gas pathways for medium and heavy-duty vehicles (MHDVs). For Class 8 tractor-trailers and refuse trucks, none of the natural gas pathways provide emissions reductions per unit of fre...

Two-Surfaces Sliding Mode Controller for Energy Management of Electric Vehicle Based on Multi Input DC-DC Converter

In this paper, a two-surfaces sliding mode controller (TSSMC) is proposed for the voltage tracking control of a two input DC-DC converter in application of electric vehicles (EVs). The imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) is used for tuning TSSMC parameters. The proposed controller significantly improves the transient response and disturbance rejection of the two input converters while p...
