BYD ECB27 Long-term Operating Cost and Return on Investment Reference

Core cost components of long-term operations

The cost of energy consumption is the core component of the daily operating expenses of electric forklifts. This equipment is suitable for general industrial charging scenarios. After full power, the battery life can cover the needs of regular single-day operations. Daily use only needs to pay the electricity bill of the corresponding electricity. It does not need to configure dedicated fuel storage and transportation related supporting facilities. It will not generate additional expenses such as fuel volatilization and pipeline maintenance. It also fully complies with the current environmental protection emission control requirements of various factories and does not need to pay additional compliance costs related to exhaust gas treatment.

Maintenance costs are an easily overlooked expense item in long-term operation. The power structure of this electric forklift is relatively simplified, and there are no rigid maintenance items such as oil replacement of traditional internal combustion power systems, regular replacement of multiple filter elements, and oil circuit maintenance. Regular maintenance only requires regular inspection of the status of power components, brake system sensitivity, and tire wear. The overall annual maintenance expenditure is at a lower level. The longer the service cycle, the more obvious the cost advantage of maintenance will be.

Return on investment cycle reference

There are obvious differences in the performance of investment return under different operation intensity scenarios. For low-frequency operation scenarios with an average daily operation time of less than 3 hours, the investment return period will be relatively lengthened, which is suitable for enterprises with clear requirements on the cleanliness of the operating environment. For medium and high-frequency operation scenarios with an average daily operation time of more than 6 hours, the balance of daily energy consumption and maintenance can gradually cover the difference of the previous investment, and the calculated investment return period is in a reasonable range generally recognized by the industry. If the two-shift continuous operation is used, the annual use time is high enough, and the investment return period will be further shortened.

The hidden benefits of long-term operations

In addition to the direct cost savings, this electric forklift has almost no exhaust emissions and lower operating noise during operation. It can be adapted to special scenarios with strict requirements on the cleanliness of the working environment, such as food and medicine, to help enterprises expand the scope of business they can undertake. It can also reduce the auditory fatigue of long-term operators, reduce unnecessary operational risks, and bring additional operating value beyond direct cost savings.
