The truck has an advanced electronic AC control system and is powered by a rugged 72V battery which offers 8.5 hours operation time per battery charge. The FB35-7 has three energy modes to allow users to extend operation times to up to 9 hours in economy mode. The continued equipment and fleet rationalisation in some materials handling environments offers operators flexibility; Super mode offers 8 hours usage at high speeds16 km/h. No expensive laptops are required to access the trucks settings and maintenance access is simple and easy. AC brings low maintenance costs as well as improved braking efficiencies and shorter stopping times with accelerator-off braking.

Inside the truck, drivers can change lift and travel speed settings through the simple to use dashboard. TCM has again performed in comfort for the driver.
