Jungheinrich wins IFOY Award 2025 – setting new standards in performance and comfort

The Jungheinrich EFG 425 electric counterbalanced truck has been awarded the IFOY AWARD 2025 in the ‘Counter Balanced Truck of the Year’ category. The awards ceremony took place on 3 July at Phoenix des Lumières in Dortmund, Germany.

The IFOY AWARD (International Intralogistics and Forklift Truck of the Year) annually recognises particularly efficient and innovative solutions in material handling. The decision is made by an independent jury of experts based on extensive testing and a scientific innovation check. This year, 21 products from 15 material handling providers were nominated.

The IFOY jury prize for the EFG 425 particularly recognises the powerful two-motor drive, the high handling capacity of up to 389 pallets per shift and the excellent all-round visibility provided by the glass roof and slim mast design.

The EFG 425 is part of Jungheinrich's 4-series and was developed for demanding indoor and outdoor applications. The truck has two maintenance-free three-phase drive motors on the front axle and an innovative synchronous reluctance motor for the lift drive. This combination ensures high energy efficiency and powerful performance. In combination with the optional lithium-ion battery, the truck is ideal for intensive multi-shift operations without battery changes.

Driver comfort is at the forefront with:

  • More foot room and ergonomic controls
  • Reduced vibration and a 'floating cab' system
  • Unrestricted view of the load and surroundings

This award is a testament to Jungheinrich's commitment to innovation, efficiency, and operator well-being.
