All these innovations and great advantages make them perfect alternatives to IC forklifts.
Media Interview, Industry Information Sharing
When being interviewed by ForkliftAction talking about the future product trends in Europe, Yang Weifeng, general manager of Hangcha Europe GmbH said: "In the European market, the proportion of internal combustion forklifts is getting smaller, while that of new energy forklifts, especially lithium battery forklifts becomes bigger. According to the latest data released by World Industrial Vehicle Statistics (WITS), the sales units of European electric forklifts (Class I to III forklifts) accounts for 88.8% of the total sales in 2022, much higher than that of global with a rate of 70.7%. It can be seen that industrial vehicles in Europe and the world are tending to be electrified.” When asked about the opportunities and challenges Hangcha faced in Europe, Mr. Yang replied confidently: “With years of research and development and manufacturing experience of lithium forklifts, Hangcha enjoys obvious competitive advantages in the European market. Just taking the Class I electric forklifts as an example, Hangcha’s sales in Europe in 2022 saw a 35% increase from the previous year. Moreover, Hangcha can provide a full range of high-quality lithium products to meet customers’ varied needs. This also makes Hangcha lithium forklifts the first choice of more and more customers.”
