In order to protect the blue sky, reduce exhaust pollution from mobile sources, and ensure the environmental quality of the Hangzhou Asian Games, recently, Hangzhou City officially issued the "Implementation Rules for the Subsidy for the Retirement and Renewal of Diesel Forklifts of National 2 and Below in Hangzhou (Trial)", with a large amount In the form of subsidies, it promotes the elimination and renewal of old diesel forklifts in the city.

As a leading enterprise in the forklift industry, Hangcha Group is obliged to assume the social responsibility of protecting the blue sky, actively responds to the policy, and participates in the phase-out and renewal of diesel forklifts below the national level II.

"I lose 1 gram for the blue sky", Hangcha Group's first national second-level old forklift was eliminated and replaced with a new energy forklift, which was delivered to a communication technology company in Hangzhou on April 26, 2023.

A person in charge of a communication technology company in Hangzhou said: "Before using diesel vehicles, the monthly fuel costs and maintenance costs were also high. After switching to new energy vehicles, the cost of using each vehicle has dropped a lot."

"The previous diesel vehicles were very noisy and smelled bad, but this lithium battery forklift is quieter and has no pungent smell. More importantly, it drives smoother than diesel vehicles. , Comfortable. The handling of the vehicle responds quickly, the operation is easier, and the load climbing is no problem at all." Said the master who has been driving a diesel forklift for a long time.

With the help of Hangcha Group’s customer service staff throughout the process, on April 26, a Hangzhou Communication Technology Co., Ltd. completed the phase-out and renewal of old forklifts in the second national level, and applied online for a government policy subsidy of 24,000 yuan. From the consultation, purchase and delivery of new energy forklifts, the elimination and scrapping of old forklifts, to the application for renewal subsidies, with the help of Hangcha Group's customer service staff, the company only took one day.

Recycling Certificate of Scrapped Diesel Forklifts in Hangzhou

In the context of "dual carbon", industrial vehicles have shown a green, efficient, and intelligent development trend in recent years. Since new energy forklifts are in line with the national economic policy of energy conservation and emission reduction, electrification of forklifts is the general trend. Hangcha Group started the research and development of lithium battery forklifts as early as 2015. After several years of technological upgrading and iteration, the company's new energy forklifts can completely replace diesel forklifts in various performances, and are suitable for all fields of current diesel forklifts, such as The latest XA series lithium battery special forklifts, XE series lithium battery special forklifts, etc., many performances have surpassed diesel forklifts of the same tonnage.

In order to better promote the elimination work, from April 24th to 25th, 2023, the air pollution prevention and control office of the Hangzhou Construction Leading Group, the People's Government of Lin'an District, and the Hangcha Group co-organized the phase-out and renewal of diesel forklifts of the second grade and below in Hangzhou. The meeting was successfully held at Lin'an Marriott Hotel and Hangcha Group Qingshan Industrial Park. As a leading enterprise in the forklift industry, Hangcha Group is a global leader in the research and development of new energy forklifts. It is the first to launch new energy forklift products of various specifications, and shoulders the social responsibility of protecting the blue sky. After the introduction of the policy, Hangcha Group took the lead in responding, earnestly studied and understood the relevant spirit of the policy, and actively participated in the phase-out and renewal of diesel forklifts up to and including National II. From the selection of new energy forklifts, the scrapping of old forklifts, and the receipt of subsidies, all-round research and implementation will dispel the relevant doubts of enterprises, and provide suggestions for promoting the elimination of old forklifts in our city.

A "small competition" of new and old forklifts was held at the commissioning site of Hangcha Group during the promotion meeting. Participating in the competition is a 3-ton national IV diesel forklift and a 3-ton new energy forklift. There is a noticeable difference when the two cars start. The new diesel forklift made a "rumbling" sound, and a strong smell wafted from the rear of the truck. However, after the new energy vehicle starts, it is silent and tasteless. After that, the two vehicles climbed a 15% slope together, and the new energy forklift arrived at the destination earlier than the diesel forklift. After that, comparing the load capacity, it is also a 3-ton product, and the new energy forklift can pull the goods faster than the diesel forklift.

"Small competition" of old and new forklifts

Compared with diesel forklifts, new energy forklifts are more environmentally friendly and healthier, and can achieve zero emission and zero pollution. According to calculations, taking a counterbalanced forklift with a load capacity of 3 tons as an example, the fuel consumption of a national second diesel forklift is 4 liters per hour, and 1 liter of diesel The carbon emission of the battery is 0.717kg. Calculated according to 8 hours a day, the carbon emission per day is 23kg. Calculated according to 300 days of work in a year, the annual carbon emission is 6900kg. However, the carbon emission of lithium electric forklift is zero, and a car can reduce about Carbon 6900kg.

From an economic point of view, the cost of using new energy forklifts is much lower than that of diesel forklifts, saving more costs for enterprises. Taking a 3-ton counterbalanced forklift as an example, the energy consumption of a new energy forklift is 6 kWh per hour. Based on the electricity fee of 1 yuan/kWh, the hourly usage cost is 6 yuan. A diesel forklift consumes 4 liters of fuel per hour, 7.5 yuan per liter of diesel, and costs 30 yuan per hour. In this comparison, a forklift is calculated based on the annual working time of 2,000 hours, and the lithium battery forklift can save 48,000 yuan a year. This does not include the annual maintenance cost of diesel forklifts, which is 2,000 yuan. Lithium battery forklifts are maintenance-free, so lithium battery forklifts can save 50,000 yuan a year. It is environmentally friendly and saves money.

Hangcha Group provides nanny-style services for cleaning and replacing old forklifts. It has conducted policy presentations and business training for more than 100 Hangcha dealers in Zhejiang Province. , new car registration, subsidy application and other one-stop services, so that customers can worry, rest assured, and at ease.

Reduce pollution emissions and protect green water and green mountains together! In the future logistics handling, new energy forklifts will gradually replace internal combustion forklifts, which is technically mature and in line with the national energy conservation and emission reduction policies, which is the general trend. The selection and replacement of new energy forklifts is not only the government's advocacy but also our corporate social responsibility. We call on companies that comply with the policy to take action together, "I will lose 1 gram for the blue sky", actively respond to the old diesel forklift elimination policy, and contribute to the defense of the blue sky a force.
