Energy cost per hour for BYD counterbalance forklifts in Cambodia

Against the backdrop of fast growing logistics, manufacturing and warehousing sectors in Cambodia in recent years, more local enterprise operators are turning to electric counterbalance forklifts to meet their material handling demands, and energy cost per hour of operation has become one of the top concerns for fleet budget planning. BYD Forklift series of counterbalance electric forklifts are equipped with mature and stable on-board energy storage system, and the actual hourly energy consumption data is collected from a large number of real local operation scenarios. Taking the average industrial and commercial electricity price in Cambodia as reference, the actual hourly energy cost of normal operation under standard rated load condition stays at a relatively reasonable level, which is far lower than the fuel cost of same load level internal combustion forklifts. It is worth noting that the specific energy cost per hour will have small fluctuations according to actual working conditions, including the real carried load weight, the gradient of driving routes, operator's operation habits and local real time electricity price. There is no unified fixed number that applies to all operation scenarios. If local enterprises want to get customized accurate energy cost evaluation report adapted to their own working conditions, they can contact Jianshu New Energy by sending their detailed working condition parameters for professional reference suggestions, and the consultation email is 17399989919@163.com. For long term operation, the relatively stable energy cost performance of these electric forklifts can help local enterprises reduce the fluctuation risk of annual operation budget, avoid the extra cost brought by frequent fuel price fluctuation and tail gas treatment work that traditional internal combustion forklifts usually face, which also fits the local low carbon logistics and green warehousing development trend. Operators can also take other cost dimensions including daily vehicle maintenance and battery cycle service life into overall evaluation to get a more comprehensive reference of input output ratio.
