Under the new policy of environmental protection, where will the forklift industry go

In the past two years, many countries have issued * * * * * * policies and announced that the sales of fuel vehicles will be stopped in the near future. For example, the Netherlands will ban the sales of fuel vehicles in 2025, Norway is also discussing whether to ban the sales of fuel vehicles in 2025, Germany and 2030 announced that the sales of fuel forklifts will be stopped, and France and 2040 will stop the sales of fuel vehicles. Even India has announced a complete ban on fuel vehicles by 2030. However, it is not known whether India really does. However, the ban of fuel vehicles announced by so many countries is a major turning point for the automobile industry with a history of 100 years. Similarly, for our forklift market, new energy forklifts will also usher in great opportunities, and the winter of internal combustion forklifts may come slowly.

Although our country has not announced these policies, it has also implemented a series of environmental protection policies. On July 1 last year, it banned the production, sales and import of vehicles with excessive air pollution emissions, which has become a catalyst for further promoting new energy forklifts. At present, the domestic forklift market is still dominated by internal combustion forklifts, of which diesel forklifts account for the absolute majority, In the first half of 2017, the sales of internal combustion forklift accounted for about 70%. As we all know, the internal combustion forklift has strong power and low price, so it is loved by everyone. Of course, the internal combustion forklift has obvious disadvantages, namely exhaust emission pollution, high fuel consumption, and relatively large contribution to environmental pollution.

From another point of view, new energy forklifts, such as the lead-acid battery forklift commonly used in the market, are new energy forklifts without the exhaust emissions of internal combustion forklifts. Will they not pollute the environment? In the production process, pollution will also occur, hydrogen will be released and acid mist will be generated during the use. In addition, if the scrapping and recycling are not properly handled, they will also face secondary pollution.

We should choose cleaner new fuels such as liquefied petroleum. For electric forklift, we can use lithium battery forklift. The lithium battery forklift has less pollution in the production process and no emission in the use process. It can be said that it is one of the products with good environmental protection. The lithium battery forklift provides an innovative road of green environmental protection and sustainable development.
