Top 10 forklift battery suppliers in China in 2021
Lithium forklift battery is one of the most important elements affecting the development of forklifts in the past decade and the next decade. If a forklift manufacturer ignores this process, it will soon be left behind by its competitors. It is hard to imagine how the price war of forklifts would have gone without the introduction of lithium ion batteries.
Entering the year of 2020, the competition situation of lithium forklift has been very obvious. Byd forklift, which takes the lead in lithium forklift battery , is also to further expand its sales advantage of lithium ion battery. So this article will first talk about the current situation of lithium forklift battery, and then we will introduce the Top 10 forklift battery suppliers in China in 2021.
The war of Lithium forklift battery
The acceptance degree of lithium forklift battery is improving
Whether active or passive, lithium forklift battery has become one of the important strategies of forklift enterprises. Although the safety and endurance of lithium batteries are plaguing the field of electric vehicles, lithium forklift battery is suitable for the forklift industry with relatively fixed operating environment and stable operating intensity.
According to BI Guozhong, general manager of BYD Forklift, lithium iron phosphate battery is the most suitable type of lithium battery for forklift applications. According to the statistics , from January to September this year, The sales of lithium forklift battery in China exceeded 96,000 units, an increase of 102% over the same period last year, showing the development prospect of lithium forklifts.
The production of lithium forklift battery still needs to be improved
According to the feedback of the 2020 China forklift market research report, users’ acceptance of lithium forklift battery is greatly improved, and more and more enterprises mainly require lithium forklift battery.
The production of lithium forklift battery still needs to be improved.At present, there are more than 50 lithium ion battery companies involved in forklift lithium battery in China, and many enterprises are still in small scale. The production process and production are mainly small and non-standard assembly lines, and the basic testing equipment and quality control basically depend on manual labor, with limited capital scale and r&d investment. Large-scale factory operations of lithium forklift enterprises are few.
How to enlarge the imagination of the scale of forklift market segment, so that more lithium battery cell manufacturers can study the application of forklift. More and more lithium forklift battery assemblers are expanding their target to the field of construction machinery. Forklift lithium production and manufacturing need to do a good job of layout to attract more investment.
The price of lithium forklifts has reached the bottom
Forklift lithium after more than two years of price competition, the current price of forklift lithium has entered a plateau, and the lithium price of electric vehicles is basically similar. The future direction of prices across the industry is largely clear. Therefore, at present, forklift lithium has entered the competition of quality and stability within the predetermined price range.
How to make forklift lithium electric technology stable, good product consistency is the main goal in the next few years. Compared with European and American forklift lithium batteries with high capacity, precision accessories control and high price, China’s forklift lithium batteries have entered the stage of nationalization.
The new energy is an important element for forklift
Lithium battery is the main new energy direction of industrial vehicles such as forklifts in the future, but the electric vehicle industry needs to promote the progress of lithium battery, including safety and non-ignition, stable range, applicability of hot and cold operating environment, recycling of discarded batteries, etc.
Forklift enterprises all regard forklift lithium electric as the main goal in the next five years. The proportion of electric forklifts will be further increased, and the speed of Lithium Battery Replacement Lead Acid is accelerating.
Hydrogen fuel forklift batteries are also the ultimate goal of everyone’s pursuit. Prager revealed at the Hydrogen Energy Investment conference in September 2020 that the company has delivered 40,000 hydrogen fuel forklifts in use and will reach 125,000 in the future by 2024. Of weichai Power’s 12 billion yuan share offering last week, 3 billion yuan will be used to develop hydrogen fuel cells, including forklifts.
