Comparison of cost between BYD CPD18S and fuel forklift of the same tonnage

Daily energy consumption cost comparison

Energy consumption expenditure per unit of operation

In daily operation scenarios, the energy consumption of forklifts is a core component of operating costs. The energy consumption per unit operation of 1.8-ton electric forklifts is much lower than that of fuel vehicles of the same tonnage. According to the current open market average price of civil industrial electricity and vehicle fuel, the standard handling operation of one hour is also completed. The energy consumption of this electric vehicle type is only a fraction of that of the fuel model, and the energy consumption gap under long-term high-frequency operation will be further widened.

Daily maintenance cost comparison

Description of maintenance expenses for fuel models

Fuel-powered forklifts require regular replacement of oil, filters, spark plugs, and other worn parts on a daily basis, and a comprehensive inspection of the engine system should be completed every fixed operating time. The comprehensive expenditure on related accessories and manual services is in a high range all year round, and a certain amount of spare funds for fault maintenance should be reserved.

Description of maintenance expenses for electric models

The power structure of an electric forklift is relatively simple, without the complex components related to the internal combustion engine. Daily maintenance only requires basic work such as battery status detection, circuit system investigation, and lubrication of wearing parts. There is no need to purchase a large number of special wear and tear parts for the internal combustion engine. Maintenance frequency and single expenditure are lower, and large sudden maintenance expenses rarely occur.

Comprehensive use cost comparison of the whole life cycle

Long-term investment differential measurement

According to the average annual operating time of domestic forklifts of 2000 hours, excluding the reasonable price difference of the initial purchase, after the end of the 3 to 5-year service cycle, the accumulated energy consumption and maintenance costs of electric models can offset most of the previous price difference. Under the scenario where the service cycle reaches more than 8 years, the advantage of comprehensive use cost will be more obvious. It is suitable for high-frequency storage, manufacturing plant and other scenarios for selection reference.
