35 percent during the charging process and 15 percent when driving, the manufacturer promises.The effectiveness of the filtration increases with a higher level of fine dust pollution in the environment, so that in urban areas with poorer air quality, far larger amounts of fine dust can be filtered.Forklifts, storage technology, warehouses and halls or equipment, city logistics, load securing, types of drive, fuels and emissions, order picking, vans and vans, pallets, shipping, handling and delivery, fleet management, LogiMAT, e-commerce, trucks, CEP Services, automation, logistics and transport services, cargo bikes (cargo bikes, wheeled carriages, etc.), intralogistics -
