【Figures】 The Clark Fusion lithium-ion battery cell supports 48-volt and 80-volt Clark electric forklift models and is equipped with a battery management system with integrated 4G connectivity.

For the first time, Clark Corporation publicly demonstrated its new integrated lithium-ion battery technology, Clark Fusion, at the Logimat 2026 Exhibition in Stuttgart, Germany. The system is specially developed for Clark's full range of electric industrial vehicles, covering 48-volt and 80-volt application scenarios, and simultaneously introduces a new multi-voltage charger that can be compatible with two voltage levels at the same time.

Clark Fusion is compatible with all Clark electric forklifts, ranging from compact 3. four-wheel S series electric forklifts (STE16-20, SE16-20) running at 48 volts to large 80 volt models including SE25-35, L25-35XE(Raider), S25-35XE(Renegade) and GEX40-50. "With the universal Clark Fusion battery, we provide customers with an efficient and highly compatible hybrid forklift fleet solution," said Stefan Budweit, President and CEO of Clark Europe. "This innovation demonstrates our commitment to continuously optimize operational processes through intelligent technology."

The battery pack supports fast charging and opportunity charging between working hours. Most Clark electric forklifts with lithium-ion battery technology can complete charging in about two hours. The new multi-voltage charger automatically adapts the voltage of the connected battery and supports access to a standard 16 amp or 32 amp wall outlet. Up to 95% of the energy absorbed by the charger can be stored in the battery, and the voltage remains stable during the entire discharge cycle.

The sealed battery adopts a maintenance-free design, no need to add distilled water, and no special charging room equipped with a ventilation system. The built-in standard heating system ensures operation and safe charging in sub-zero environments by maintaining the cells at the optimum operating temperature. The core of the system is the intelligent battery management system (BMS), which communicates with the vehicle and charger through the CAN bus, continuously monitors operating data, and actively prevents deep discharge and overcharge. In addition, Clark also added an integrated 4G module, which enables fleet managers to monitor battery data in real time through the mobile network and conduct remote diagnosis. Once abnormal conditions are found, early warning information will be automatically sent.
