Industrial forklifts go green in the Netherlands: Carer A140S powers Peterson Logistics’ transition
Carer, a global leader in high-capacity electric forklifts, has supplied Peterson’s Energy Logistics division in the Netherlands with a full-electric 14-ton truck — marking the definitive transition to an all-electric material handling fleet and replacing the last remaining combustion-powered unit.
Peterson Logistics, a Dutch multinational operating in more than 80 countries, provides logistics and supply chain services for the industrial sector. Its Energy division has recently added a 14-ton Carer A140S electric forklift to its fleet — a move that marks a turning point, as the truck replaces the last diesel unit still in operation at the Dutch site, completing the transition to fully decarbonized material handling.
A green transition made possible. Even for logistics giants
The Carer A 140 S is a clear example of how innovation and environmental responsibility can coexist without compromise. Engineered to handle the heaviest loads, the model delivers high capacity, compactness, stability, and operating speed — all features traditionally associated with diesel forklifts.
With the Carer A 140 S, ecological transition happens seamlessly: the forklift delivers the same performance as its combustion-powered counterpart, while offering total silence, zero emissions, and significantly lower operating costs. The agreement was made possible thanks to the role of Carer Lifting Solutions, exclusive importer for Central and Northern Europe and a long-standing Carer partner — consistently able to provide tailor-made commercial consultancy for a market as broad and demanding as the Central European one.
Since 1976, Carer has been at the forefront of high-capacity electric forklift development, supporting companies of every size and industry in their transition towards more sustainable supply chains. With a distribution network spanning dozens of global markets and internationally recognized engineering expertise, Carer stands as a trusted partner for businesses choosing the path of decarbonization.
