Domestic demand is stabilizing, and overseas Li-ion batteries are accelerating

Forklift truck, also known as fork loading truck, also known as forklift, refers to the loading and unloading of pallet goods, stacking and short-distance transportation, heavy lifting operations of various wheeled handling vehicles. Car first appeared in the early 20th century, was used for war material handling, developed rapidly after the Second World War, and has moved to serialization, standardized production, most of the material handling enterprises in developed countries has been out of the original manual handling, replaced by forklift based industrial vehicle mechanized handling, in recent years, electrification, driverless progress is significant, In the future, with the rise of labor costs, the demand for automation to replace labor increases, and the penetration rate of forklifts is expected to further increase.

The following is the classification of forklift trucks in China

In 2021, the sales volume of forklift trucks in China is 1.099,000 units, the sales volume of Class I vehicles is 113,000 units (lithium electrochemical rate of 42.8%), the sales volume of Class II vehicles is 16,000 units (lithium electrochemical rate of 18.3%), and the sales volume of Class III vehicles is 529,000 units (lithium electrochemical rate of 63.7%). IV&V cars sold 442,000 units

Lithium battery with its high energy density, small size, maintenance-free, fast charging, long service life and many other advantages, in the global forklift industry has been widely used, China's lithium battery forklift penetration rate continues to increase, in 2021 lithium electric walking storage forklift in the total sales of lithium electric forklift accounted for as high as 85%. In 2021, the total sales volume of lithium electric forklifts in China reached 333,000 units, an increase of 106.3%.

However, at present, most electric forklifts are equipped with lead-acid batteries, and lead-acid batteries with rich liquid opening will have water loss and acid overflow during use, and need to often supplement distilled water, and there are also shortcomings of long charging time, short life, and low energy density. The use of forklifts is basically in a fixed small range, for example, large logistics warehouses are indoor application scenarios, zero noise and low emissions requirements are higher; In addition, in the indoor environment, the working distance of the forklift is shorter, and the battery mileage is not so strict, which greatly reduces the battery cost. The following is a comparison of lead-acid batteries and lithium batteries:

According to the comparison, the demand for lithium batteries will gradually increase, according to the development trend of the country is definitely to safety and environmental protection, and lithium batteries are just in line.

In terms of electrification and low-carbon development, Yuanjie power technology focuses on the research and development of lithium batteries, and has applied tens of thousands of cases of zero failure and zero maintenance over the years to provide customers with professional technical services for lithium batteries, and has become one of the important forklift lithium battery manufacturers in the industry. In the field of lithium battery technology is relatively mature. Yuanjie power forklift lithium battery passed 9 environmental tests and life tests, in line with Chinese GB standard, British BS standard, German DIN standard, but also in line with DIN/EN60254-2 and IEC60254-2 standards.
