BYD forklifts lead the way in green technology innovation

Byd forklifts made early preparations. Ten years ago, it was the first to propose a new product concept of "taking new energy as the foundation and high quality as the standard", and created BYD lithium battery forklifts, reshaping the new industrial pattern of the entire Chinese forklift industry. As a leader in the new energy forklift industry, how can BYD forklifts maintain its own advantages and adapt to the trend of environmental protection to continue expanding its achievements?

Byd has been working in the new energy field for over 20 years and firmly holds the key core technologies in the manufacturing of new energy batteries. Since its debut, BYD forklifts have become a super star in the forklift industry. Relying on its unique lithium battery technology advantages and adhering to independent innovation, it has brought about one technological revolution after another to the entire forklift industry and eradicated the environmental protection problems that have plagued the forklift industry for many years.

The high-intelligence electronic control system, BMS battery management system, automatic fork leveling function and OPS safety early warning and other technologies have solved the problems of long charging time, short battery life, heavy metal and acid mist pollution of traditional lead-acid battery forklifts. Since the launch of BYD's lithium ironphosphate forklift in 2013, BYD forklifts has successively developed new energy forklift products such as counterbalanced forklifts, handling robots, and stackers. New energy forklifts have become a sharp sword for energy conservation andemission reduction in the forklift industry. Not only that, BYD forklifts also offer exclusive customization services, creating enterprise "handling tools" that are suitable for different working conditions. For instance, in the papermaking industry, by enhancing the dust-proof function of the vehicle body, it is possible to prevent paper scraps from entering the underside of the vehicle. In the food and beverage industry, the working conditions are characterized by a fast production pace, complex goods and large volumes. For this reason, BYD forklifts have launched counterbalanced forklifts, which not only achieve zero pollution but also can be charged rapidly within one hour, and can still operate efficiently in an environment of minus 40 degrees. Tailor-made according to working conditions is also an active effort made by BYD forklifts to address various environmental pollution issues.

Byd officially launched an electricforklift equipped with BYD's lithium iron phosphate batteries to the market in 2013. Compared with the mainstream lead-acid batteries and nickel-cadmium batteries in the market at that time, the lithium iron phosphate batteries usedin BYD forklifts seemed particularly "luxurious", but in terms of environmental protection issues, it was the most effective solution. No additional maintenance is required, and it does not produce exhaust gas or acid. Each forklift only needs to be equipped with one lithium battery, which can greatly increase the driving life and has excellent charge and dischargecycle performance. In addition, compared with lithium cobalt oxide and lithium manganese oxide batteries, the safety of BYD's lithium iron phosphate batteries has also been greatly improved. They can with stand harsh working conditions such as needle puncture, fire, compression and collision, and can be said to be the preferred power battery for new energy forklifts.

According to the carbon emission calculation standard, the carbon emissions of an internal combustion forklift are 20 times that of an ordinary car. For every 10,000 working hours, the carbon emissions of an internal combustion forklift are 54 tons more than those of a lithium battery forklift. Forklifts equipped with BYD lithium iron phosphate batteries can significantly reduce pollutant emissions compared to traditional internal combustion forklifts. In addition, the new generation of forklift products do not require the construction of charging and ventilation facilities, which can free up ground space for additional work.

Byd forklifts are taking proactive and effective energy conservation and emission reduction measures to reduce energy consumption while improving energy utilization efficiency, and to implement the concept of green development in production and operation: there is no heavy metal pollution in the production process, no pollution and no emissions during use, and the battery can be recycled after the end of its life cycle. It is worth mentioning that BYD forklifts have been continuously reducing energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions by establishing a green energy management systemand promoting the replacement of traditional energy with renewable energy.

At the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly in 2020, China was the first to propose achieving "carbonpeak" by 2030 and "carbon neutrality" by 2060. Under the dualimpetus of the dual carbon goals and the 14th Five-Year Plan for renewable energy, green development has become an inevitable requirement for building a modern industrial logistics system and the fundamental solution to pollution problems.

Byd forklifts have been continuously making efforts in technological research and development, maintaining its leading position in lithium battery technology. Digitalization, intelligence and fleet management are the future development trends of the forklift industry. The intelligence and digitalization from the automotive field have provided atechnical application support environment for BYD's material handling robots and intelligent forklifts, promoting the development of BYD's material handling robots. The BYD forklift AR16P material handling robot adopts industry-leading automation technology, is not restricted by site, road or space, and is guidedby laser, significantly enhancing safety efficiency.

In response to the demands of different markets and customers, BYD forklifts have launched a variety of lithium battery forklifts for different application scenarios, ranging from the paper industry to the food and beverage industry. This concept and measure have significantly accelerated the market coverage of BYD forklifts. On the sustainable path of carbon reduction, BYD forklifts are moving more and more steadily.

Ten years ago, BYD forklifts emerged out of the blue, disrupting the industry. Ten years later, they have steadily developed and lead the industry. The development over the past ten years has relied on the rapid growth of China's forklift industry and BYD forklifts' continuous innovation in lithium battery technology. The successful application of lithium battery technology has broadened the broad track of BYD forklifts in the industry. In the future, BYD forklifts will continue to drive the transformation of the new energy industry and explore unlimited possibilitieson the new track of unmanned and intelligent operation.
