Exide Technologies has secured a deal to supply lithium-ion batteries to Norwegian discount wholesaler Europris.
The Norwegian company signed a deal after trialing five GNB Industrial Power’s (a division of Exide) Sonnenschein lithium batteries on its forklift fleet for six months.
Europris is in the process of replacing around 150 forklifts, with GNB providing lead-acid and Sonnenschein Lithium batteries, and a set of GNB chargers with specially optimised charging algorithms.
GNB will supply its products through local dealers of forklift manufacturers Linde and Still, and will be helping Europris directly by providing knowledge and expertise.
