5 Ton Electric Forklift

Electric Forklift Trucks is industrial handling vehicle, which was widely used in ports, railway stations, airports, freight yard, factory workshops, warehouses, distribution centers, etc. Can beused to load and unload pallets of cargo in theship, compartments and containers, is an indispensable equipment for pallet transportation and container transportation. Different working devices such as stacking,overturning, androll prong can be used for loading, unloading, stacking and short-distance transportation in situations.

 Pure electric forklifts have changed the traditional type of diesel as the main source of power for the engine. Lithium batteries are used as the main source of power, “ zero emissions, zero pollution, low noise, low energy consumption” to achieve environmental protection requirements for national energy conservation and emission reduction.

As the world's largest power battery manufacturer, CATL's every move has attracted much attention. Why did CATL turn its attention to Europe this time?

European cars, looking forward to Chinese batteries

Europe, once the home base of fuel vehicles, is now accelerating its entry into the new energy era.

In the first half of 2022, the sales of new energy vehicles in Europe reached 1.0898 million units, a year-on-year increase of nearly 11%. The market size is second only to China, ranking the second largest new energy vehicle market in the world.

In the face of the booming new energy industry, Europe's new energy industry chain is not ready.

According to market forecasts, the global power battery production capacity is expected to exceed 1,000GWh in 2025, of which the European market will occupy 462GWh.

Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, which have experienced a century of development, they already have a complete and mature industrial chain. In the field of new energy power batteries, Europe already has Sweden's Northvolt, France's Verkor, France's ACC, Slovakia's InoBat Auto, UK's Britishvolt, Norway's Freyr, Norway's Morrow, Many local battery companies such as Italvolt in Italy and ElevenEs in Serbia. These companies cannot meet the strong demand for power batteries for new energy vehicles in Europe, and there are huge market vacancies that need to be filled.

If Chinese companies do not occupy the European market, other companies will take the initiative to occupy them.

Taking Hungary as an example, in 2018, South Korea’s SK began to invest in Hungary to build a factory. With its three battery factories, Hungary became the fifth largest power battery producer in the world and the most important power battery production base for European car companies.

However, looking at the global installed capacity of power batteries, the top ten are all taken by Chinese, Japanese and Korean companies, and the CATL has ranked first for five consecutive years.

Therefore, there is a certain gap between the production capacity and quality of SK and European small and medium-sized manufacturers and mainstream battery manufacturers led by Ningde.

Deploying in Europe has become the only way for the CATL era, and it is also the only way for the further development of Chinese power battery companies.

Chinese enterprises go overseas, speed up

Europe is hungry for Chinese batteries, and Chinese companies also need Europe.

With the rapid development of domestic power batteries in recent years, the production capacity has gradually become excessive. For enterprises, going overseas is becoming the only option to release crowded production capacity, and the European market is an important market for domestic enterprises to open up space.

Whoever goes to sea to occupy Europe first will be able to grasp the future opportunities and replicate the miracle of the rapid development of China's power batteries.

Now is the key point in this transition. Following the peak of the appointment in 2017-2020, the models of major auto manufacturers will gradually enter the mass production stage in 2022, and now it is the key time node for the signing of the next round of fixed-point contracts in the automotive industry. , so whoever can lock the contract can lock the market pattern in the next five years.

In order to obtain fixed-point contracts from major automakers, especially European automakers, Chinese companies must blaze a new path of high-quality development and high-quality competition, and avoid invoking each other through low-price competition.

Therefore, in addition to the competition in terms of technical strength, production capacity and supply chain in developing the European market, whoever can better achieve localization and low carbonization will have an advantage in the competition, which is also important for Chinese power battery companies to continue to lead the world. A new requirement has been put forward, that is, the development of globalization.

The successive layouts in Europe are the epitome of the accelerated globalization development of the Ningde era.

In April 2022, CATL announced that its first overseas factory in Thuringia, Germany has officially obtained a production license for 8GWh batteries. The distance between the factory and Tesla's Berlin Gigafactory is less than 300 kilometers.

The second European factory announced by CATL this time is located in the southern industrial park of Debrecen, covering an area of 221 hectares. , the plant is expected to produce cells and modules for European automakers.

In the first half of this year, the installed capacity of overseas power batteries of CATL reached nearly 16.5GWh, a year-on-year increase of less than 8GWh compared with last year, which is second only to LG New Energy (25.6GWh) and Panasonic (19.9GWh), and overseas progress has been remarkable. Speed up.

Continue to attack, the first is not to win by lying down

In this entry into Hungary, the real competitor of CATL is not SK, which also built a factory in Hungary, but LG, which has greatly expanded production in Poland.

According to data from market research firm SNE Research, the global installed capacity of electric vehicle batteries in 2021 will be 296.8GWh, of which CATL will lead with 96.7GWh installed capacity and 32.6% market share, followed by LG with 60.2GWh installed capacity and 20.3% market share. thereafter.

The latest data from research institutions shows that CATL's share of the global electric vehicle battery market in the first half of this year surpassed that of the three major Korean battery manufacturers.

Among them, LG New Energy's global share in the first half of the year was 14%, a significant decline from 24% in the same period last year. Among the other two battery manufacturers, Samsung SDI's market share in the first half of the year dropped from 6% in the same period last year to 5%; SK On's market share increased from 5% to 7%, becoming the fifth largest manufacturer.
