Deliveries, automation, and the gateway drug to electrification with BIG JOE
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of electric forklifts on the industry with insights from Big Joe's CMO, Martin Boyd.
Full autonomy, big delivery numbers, and a push towards electrification that's moving global markets? We must be talking about electric forklifts! On today's uplifting episode of Quick Charge , we've got Big Joe CMO Martin Boyd here to walk us through some of the ways these battery powered equipment assets are making all our lives better. Forklifts might not be the first vehicles that come to mind when you think about EVs, but they may be one of the industry's biggest success stories. Electric forklifts are quieter, smoother, and produce zero tailpipe emissions, making them ideal for warehouses, factories, and other indoor spaces where diesel or propane exhaust simply isn't an option. One of the leading voices in that space is Big Joe, who specialize in both electric forklifts and trainable, autonomous material handling solutions that promise lower costs, more efficient operations, and increased safety.
