“Of late, many manufacturers are developing energy-efficient and user-friendly AWP trucks. Owing to the growing need to receive energy-efficient certificates, the construction companies are focused to reduce their emissions levels throughout the project lifecycle. For instance, JLG electric powered AWP trucks provide longer run time and higher productivity. These energy efficient electric drives boost the productivity of the machine,” says Soumya Mutsuddi, Lead Analyst, Heavy Industry, Technavio Research

The construction industry is the biggest user of AWP trucks because these can be used to lift workers as well as materials. One of the major reasons for the steady growth of this segment is the availability of AWP trucks in different configurations, which help in carrying out tasks and delivery of materials effectively. This market segment is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of almost 19% by 2020.
