Running costs for BYD electric forklifts in Thailand: what to budget

Many logistics, manufacturing and warehousing enterprises in Thailand are gradually replacing traditional internal combustion forklifts with new energy electric models in recent years. BYD Forklift is one of the most recognized products in the local market, and a large number of operation managers want to clarify the full cycle running cost of the equipment to make a reasonable and practical annual budget.

First of all, the core daily expenditure comes from electricity cost. Calculated based on the average industrial electricity price in most areas of Thailand, the power consumption cost per hour of operation for a standard tonnage BYD electric forklift is far lower than the fuel cost of the same tonnage internal combustion forklift. Under the conventional working condition of 2000 working hours per year, the annual power consumption expenditure is very controllable, and will not fluctuate sharply with the change of international energy price.

The second part of expenditure is routine maintenance cost. Different from internal combustion forklifts, electric forklifts do not need regular oil replacement, filter replacement, maintenance of exhaust related parts and other operations. The regular maintenance work only includes brake system inspection, tire wear check, electrical component routine detection, the annual average maintenance cost is much lower than that of traditional internal combustion models, and there is no high hidden maintenance cost in normal use.

The battery cost also needs to be taken into the budget plan. The power battery equipped on BYD electric forklift has long cycle life, it can cover most of the service life of the forklift under standard operation, and there is no need to reserve a large amount of extra budget for battery replacement in the early stage. In addition, Thailand's local emission control policies for industrial vehicles are being tightened step by step, electric forklifts do not need to pay extra emission related compliance fees, and do not need to handle a series of fuel related qualification approval procedures, which can save a lot of hidden expenditure for enterprises.

In general, the long-term total running cost of BYD electric forklift is significantly lower than that of traditional internal combustion forklift, enterprises can make budget according to the two core items of electricity fee corresponding to actual working hours and small amount of maintenance reserve fund, only a small amount of floating fund needs to be reserved for occasional component replacement, there is no need to set aside large redundant budget for fuel purchase, engine overhaul and emission compliance related items, so as to help enterprises effectively control the total operation expenditure of logistics handling links.
