Volkswagen ID. Buzz to drive logistics giant Down Under
Volkswagen Group Australia has announced a partnership with fellow German giant Jungheinrich, as part of the intralogistics giant's network expansion into Melbourne's south-east. Jungheinrich Australia managing director Axel Knigge was handed the keys to a pair of custom liveried Volkswagen ID. Buzz Cargo electric vans by VW Group Australia's managing director Karsten Seifert. Both are already in service in Melbourne and Sydney. The partnership forms part of Jungheinrich Australia's strategy to shift its service fleet to low-emission vehicles, and achieve net zero emissions across its global chain by 2050 – including full electrification of its owned vehicle fleet. Volkswagen is already a long-standing partner for Jungheinrich globally, with one-third of the German intralogistics giant's 5000-strong service fleet supplied by the German brand including the Caddy and Transporter vans as well as the Amarok dual-cab ute.

Buzz Cargo vans feature a special livery design to commemorate the company's over 70-year history: the left side shows a historic Volkswagen T2 service van with a 1953 Jungheinrich forklift, with the right side donning a modern Jungheinrich lithium-ion electric forklift. Atop the roof is a "sustainably crafted wooden surfboard", which Volkswagen says "adds a playful nod to the VW van's coastal legacy, perfectly fitting to Australia". Fun fact: The T2-generation VW service van was the base of the German auto giant's first foray into electric transport some 50 years ago. The VW T2 Elektro Transporter of the 1970s was powered by a 21.6kWh lead-acid battery offering "about 85km" of range and even featured an 'engine recovery system' which captured "some of" the kinetic energy generated under braking to charge the battery – the early days of regen braking. Jungheinrich says the ID. Buzz Cargo fits its needs as its Australian service technicians may travel "up to 350km per day", and may need to respond to "urgent, unplanned service calls". The VW's claimed 431km of driving range on the WLTP cycle should be more than up to task, then. The cargo van can also carry two Euro pallets, while its 84kWh lithium-ion battery (four times the density of the T2 Elektro) can be charged from 5 to 80 per cent in around 30 minutes using a fast charger thanks to its 185kW DC charging capacity. Above: Karsten Seifert and Axel Knigge "In 2008, Jungheinrich was the first manufacturer to bring lithium-ion technology into series production. That innovation helped reduce emissions and increase productivity," said Axel Knigge, Jungheinrich Australia's managing director. "We're now taking another major step forward electrifying our service fleet and delivering sustainable service to our customers – and the ID. Buzz Cargo is a major asset: low maintenance costs, zero emissions, and impressive real-world range. "Jungheinrich stands for premium German-engineered products, expert advice, and the best solution in terms of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and high operational readiness. We are always looking for partners who share our values and continuously improve ourselves." Karsten Seifert, managing director for Volkswagen Group Australia, added: "By combining Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles' reliability and innovation with Jungheinrich's expertise in material handling, we're driving efficiency, sustainability and progress across the supply chain together".

Jungheinrich delivers Customised Racking Solution to Toll's Green Warehouse in Tullamarine, Melbourne
MELBOURNE, Australia, March 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Germany-headquartered global leading material handling solution provider Jungheinrich announced that they have collaborated with Toll Group to provide a customised racking solution for Toll's new 10,000 sqm temperature-controlled healthcare facility at Melbourne's Airport Business Park in Australia. As the first five-star green building at Melbourne airport*, this facility is designed, and custom built to support the influenza vaccine production for adjacent CSL Seqirus manufacturing site through just-in-time services. It boasts impressive operational capabilities, including controlled ambient, cold chain as well as frozen and ultra-low frozen product storage which could handle a wide range of sensitive healthcare products with the utmost precision and care. Toll Group Australia partnered with Jungheinrich to provide a holistic tailor-made warehouse solution that addresses their specific requirements while offering highest flexibility, quality, safety and sustainability. This solution offers 9,000+ pallet storage locations, integrating key features such as selective pallet racking, fire baffles and sprinkler systems, location labels, rack end and upright protectors, mesh decks for order picking along with a layout to suit cool room and freezers. "Jungheinrich's expertise in providing one-stop-shop warehousing solutions which include both racking systems and forklifts has helped us deliver a high-performance facility that supports our operations. We are very impressed by Jungheinrich's project management allowing for a progressive handover which enabled us to meet a hard deadline for a TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) inspection." says Michael Lawrence, Senior Vice President of Healthcare, at Toll Group Australia. By understanding Toll's specific requirements, including their product profile, storage capacity, and throughput requirements, we provided an ideal solution, factoring in both their immediate needs and future scalability requirements. As a result, we leveraged our trusted ISO processes and expertise and delivered a safe, and high-quality warehouse solution for Toll that is compliant to AS 4084-2023 and other stringent international standards," said Axel Knigge, Managing Director of Jungheinrich Australia & New Zealand. The racking system is robust and flexible, which enables Toll to adapt to potential changes in product mix and volume – a common challenge in third-party logistics (3PL) environments. The facility also incorporates fire baffle systems to meet recommended safety standards for storing healthcare products, including those with chemical components. Jungheinrich's racking solution enables Toll to maximise their storage density and optimise material flow within their warehouse. *Certification in process About Jungheinrich As one of the world's leading providers of material handling solutions, Jungheinrich has been advancing the development of innovative and sustainable products and solutions for material flows for more than 70 years.
