WorkabilityProductivity


Optimal power and power on par with that of a gasoline engine vehicle

The adoption of AC control ensures top-class performance in terms of travel speed, lift speed, and climbing ability.

A major evolution from conventional battery vehicles, it has the power and speed of an engine vehicle, dramatically improving workability. The adoption of AC control has achieved power and operability that far exceeds the limits of conventional DC control.

AC conversion improves regeneration function, controllability and energy savingCovers a wide range of operability, from high performance comparable to that of gasoline engine vehicles to delicate operation

  • Neutral regeneration

    When the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle automatically decelerates with the AC controller, and the braking energy is recovered in the battery, realizing energy savings. This contributes to extending the life of the brake linings, and also provides a driving feeling on a par with that of an internal combustion engine vehicle.

  • Brake pedal regeneration

    When the brake pedal is depressed, the AC controller automatically slows the vehicle and recovers the braking energy in the battery, contributing to energy savings, reduced brake pressure, and extended brake lining life.

  • Shift lever regeneration

    When the shift lever is shifted in the reverse direction, the AC controller automatically slows the vehicle down and recovers braking energy in the battery, realizing energy savings. Shifting is also quick and without a contactor, allowing for stress-free driving and contributing to a smooth driving feeling.

  • Hydraulic Regeneration

    When the control lever is stopped, the mast inertial energy is recovered and stored in the battery, achieving energy savings.

  • Acceleration Characteristics

    The acceleration characteristics have been optimized by taking full advantage of the excellent controllability that is a feature of the AC controller. From high performance on par with that of a gasoline engine vehicle to strong low-speed torque, delicate operation is also comfortable. Smooth acceleration and energy saving over a wide range have been achieved.

■ Small diameter handlebars, offset layout

The steering wheel has a small diameter and is offset to the left of the driver's seat, and the operating force has been further reduced to achieve light operation and reduced fatigue based on ergonomics. This has also been verified through evaluation using electromyography (※1).

On-Demand Control

Energy saving and low noise

Improved stationary switching

Covers the extended wheelbase

  • Electronically controlled hydraulic power steering

    The conventional mechanical link mechanism has been replaced by a power steering system that combines hydraulics and electronic control to improve operability. Because it is hydraulic, steering can be done with lighter force, reducing fatigue.

  • Auto-adjusting power steering

    The handlebar knob position and the turning angle of the rear wheels are controlled to prevent the knob position from shifting, providing natural operability.

  • On-Demand Power Steering

    The power steering motor operates only when assistance is needed, saving energy and reducing noise.

  • Speed-sensitive power steering

    It provides optimal power assistance according to vehicle speed, achieving energy savings and ease of operation.

display

The full-dot displays are arranged in a column for ease of viewing and operability.

In addition to a battery capacity meter, it also has a full range of functions including charging, task management, and password registration.

  • When driving, it displays the speedometer and battery capacity meter, and when stopped, it displays the digital clock and battery capacity meter, making it easy to see the necessary information according to the situation.

  • A week's worth of work management information, such as various hour meters, mileage, charging time, etc., can be displayed all at once.

  • The power mode can also be set optimally depending on the situation. You can select power mode 1 to 3.

  • The password entry function allows you to turn the key on only after entering a PIN, ensuring perfect security management. (You can also select no password for up to 10 people.)

  • The charging control is also packed with convenient functions such as automatic, equal, fast, weekend reservation, long-term reservation, and start reservation.

Stability that matches performance
  1. DBB (Drop Battery Box Concept)

    The heavy battery is lowered to the bottom of the vehicle and placed at the rear, which improves driving stability.

  2. Wheelbase extension

    Improved stability even at high speeds.

  3. Oscillation Optimization

    Rubber is used to regulate the oscillation of the rear axle, improving stability when cornering.

  1. The battery hood, which is essential for daily maintenance, can be opened and closed easily with the gas damper with stays.

  2. The battery disconnect lever allows you to remove the connector with one touch.

  3. The drop battery keeps the main electrical components in one place inside the guard. Just open the hood and you can see the pump motor and charger.

  4. The floor plate is also a one-touch type that can be removed and attached without tools.

Traveling/loading interlock function

Safe to board and safe to disembark

When the operator leaves the seat, the travel and loading/unloading circuits are shut off.
