Innovative Practices in the Forklift Industry

• Technological Breakthrough: Hangcha Grouplaunched a 3.5-ton hydrogen-powered forklift, achieving a 10-hour range withzero emissions and a 1.5-hour refueling time. This model was successfullyapplied in high-intensity operation scenarios. Through hydrogen fuel celltechnology, it solved the pollution problem of traditional internal combustionforklifts and avoided the range anxiety of pure electric forklifts, becoming agreen handling solution for industries such as chemicals and logistics.

• Market Expansion: Hangcha collaboratedwith Zhejiang Yuntong to export over 30 electric forklift models (such as theXE series lithium-ion forklifts) to North America. This collaboration combinedHangcha's lithium-ion-specific architecture with Yuntong's local supply chaincapabilities, marking a breakthrough for Chinese forklift brands in theoverseas high-end market.

• Green Practice: Haitian Flavor Industryfully adopted new energy forklifts and AGV intelligent handling equipment tooptimize its internal logistics network. Its "factory-in-factory"model shortened transportation distances, reducing carbon emissions by nearly4,000 tons per year, equivalent to planting 350,000 trees. This casedemonstrates how traditional manufacturing enterprises can achieve carbonneutrality through forklift electrification.

• Technical Collaboration: Haitiancollaborated with suppliers to carry out a waste heat recovery project, furtherreducing energy consumption, highlighting the pivotal role of forklifts in thegreen transformation of the manufacturing industry.

• Product Innovation: Hangcha launched the309V diesel-electric hybrid forklift, with a performance of "refuel in 5minutes and travel 20 hours" and an oil-saving rate of over 35%. Thismodel disrupted the 10-ton heavy-duty forklift market. Its permanent magnetsynchronous technology and adaptive energy distribution system solved the powerand range bottlenecks of pure electric solutions in mining, infrastructure, andother scenarios.

• Industry Impact: This product wasrecognized by the China Construction Machinery Industry Association and becamea benchmark case under the "dual carbon" strategy, promoting theindustry's transition from "oil-to-electric" to practical new energy.

• Cross-Business Application: UPS invested120 million US dollars to purchase 400 Pickle unloading robots. These roboticarms can autonomously unload truck containers, completing the work that wouldnormally take 4 hours by a human in 2 hours. Through a 18-month cost recoveryperiod, UPS significantly improved logistics efficiency and reduced reliance onlabor.

• Trend Prediction: This case reflects thetrend of forklift intelligence extending to the entire logistics chain, fromhandling equipment to loading, sorting, and other processes.

• Industry Event: The German LogiMAT 2025exhibition brought together 1,661 companies, showcasing breakthroughs inforklifts in 5G remote control, AI obstacle avoidance, etc. For example,Huawei's "Intelligent Charging Brain" technology increased warehouseoverall energy efficiency to 92% and sorting efficiency by 40% through digitaltwin technology.

• Future Insights: The exhibition revealedthe deep integration of forklifts with the Internet of Things and autonomousdriving technologies, such as humanoid robot forklifts that are redefiningmaterial handling logic.
