Jungheinrich and Kühne+Nagel have signed an international framework agreement for around 5,000 industrial trucks. The agreement applies to several European countries and includes the long-term provision and management of the vehicles through a rental and service concept. The contract was signed by Jungheinrich's sales director Nadine Despineux and Eduardo Razuck, Executive Vice President of Contract Logistics and member of Kühne+Nagel's board.
Fleet management across national borders The basis of the agreement is Jungheinrich's Rental Fleet Management. According to the manufacturer, the system is aimed at internationally active companies with large vehicle fleets. It combines a core fleet with flexibly scalable rental shares. For Kühne+Nagel, Jungheinrich has further developed the system into a customer-specific solution "KN-RFM+". The focus is on flexible adjustment of fleet capacities and a high utilization rate of the deployed vehicles. In addition, the concept aims to create transparency and comparability and enable unified management across different locations and countries.

Lithium-ion technology for the fleet

Among other things, industrial trucks with lithium-ion technology from Jungheinrich's portfolio are to be used. According to the announcement, the vehicles have short charging times and maintenance-free battery systems. The manufacturer particularly envisions them for cross-site operation of standardized fleets.

With the fleet model, vehicle capacities should also be adaptable to different requirements in the respective markets. Kühne+Nagel and Jungheinrich are pursuing an approach in which a fixed core fleet can be supplemented by additional rental vehicles.

Existing collaboration is being expanded

Jungheinrich is already active as a fleet partner of Kühne+Nagel in several European countries, including France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg.

The new framework agreement aims to deepen this collaboration. According to Jungheinrich, the agreement also forms the basis for expanding the joint fleet concept to additional countries in the future.
