Cooperation with Van den Dorpe
Previously, Huyghe Brewery only drove gas-powered forklifts. That didn’t fit with their ambition to become the greenest brewery in Belgium. So Van den Dorpe studied how much they would save if they switched to electric driving. This turned out to be hugely beneficial.
After the study, Huyghe Brewery decided to completely replace their LPG machines with a new fleet of electric trucks. In addition, a battery charging room arrived, where they can easily change all batteries.
