Forklift industry game: “battery-type” or “internal combustion type”

2024-09-13
It is predicted that the annual growth of forklift will be more than 15% this year, and the sales volume can easily exceed 130,000 units. Among them, internal combustion forklifts still occupy the absolute proportion of sales. However, the enterprises have locked their eyes on the battery forklift as the main force in the future forklift market.
Last year, with the national 4 trillion investment drive, the forklift market began to pick up in September, followed by substantial growth in the domestic market. The industry generally believes that the industry's total demand in the past two years will continue to grow at a high rate, the main driving force still comes from the internal combustion forklift.
There is a view that internal combustion forklift trucks will occupy a major position in the industry for at least five years. The main basis for this conclusion is that the logistics sector can still afford the fuel cost of internal combustion forklift trucks, as well as the degree of social energy constraints have not yet reached the point where the forklift industry needs to seek change. From the product point of view, internal combustion forklifts have stronger power performance, traveling speed, fork lift speed, traction and other indicators are higher than battery forklifts.
For host enterprises, cost constraints are one of the reasons why they continue to take internal combustion forklifts as their leading products. At present, the product structure of Chinese enterprises is still stuck in the stage that internal combustion forklift is the mainstream product, the industrial chain and assembly conditions of internal combustion forklift are very perfect, and it is not an overnight thing to make large-scale adjustment.
However, under the background of low carbon and environmental protection, the upgrade of forklift industry's power source to electric energy drive is inevitable. In Europe, America and Japan market, the proportion of battery forklifts is up to 70% or more. In view of this market status quo, Chinese enterprises are mostly adopting the overseas market strategy, positioning the battery forklift market for service export and properly cultivating the share of the domestic market.
Factors affecting the restructuring speed of the forklift market mainly lie in the strength of the national control of low carbon emissions. At present, the internal combustion forklift technology of Chinese enterprises has matured, and factors such as product quality and price have also achieved market recognition. However, if the country increases the restrictions on emission standards, the forklift industry is likely to “be entered” the battery era.
However, the working time of battery forklift is still the key to breakthrough. In the field of logistics, forklifts are used very frequently, and if the timely operation of forklifts cannot be guaranteed, it will cause great losses to the work efficiency of logistics companies.
Therefore, under the advocacy of Toyota, the internal combustion hybrid forklift was born last year. Wuxi Kaipu Machinery Co., Ltd. also quickly developed this type of product. It is understood that the fuel consumption of the internal combustion hybrid forklift produced by Wuxi Kaipu Machinery Co., Ltd. will be reduced by more than 30% compared with the traditional forklift, and the carbon dioxide emission is also reduced by 30%.
It is foreseeable that foreign advanced enterprises will continue to increase the research and development of battery-operated forklifts. The internal combustion hybrid forklift is only a transitional product. From the perspective of the market, only the double constraints of fuel cost pressure and emission regulations have a profound impact on logistics enterprises, which can really lead to product changes. Until then, internal combustion forklifts will continue to occupy the mainstream position in the market.
