Technological advances in batteries have made vehicles (EVs) much more viable for use in industrial settings. Increased battery energy density enables longer operating hours and a greater range, making vehicles more affordable and accessible for businesses due to their lower costs. Faster charging times also reduce downtime, allowing for more efficient use of the vehicles. The efficiency and performance of industrial vehicles are further improved by advancements in power electronics and motors, which provide higher torque, better control, and smoother operation. Together, these technological developments enable EVs to meet the rigorous demands of industrial environments, including frequent and heavy lifting.
For instance, in January 2023, BYD introduced its Blade Battery technology, which enhances safety and efficiency. These batteries are designed to have a longer lifespan and provide consistent power output, making them ideal for forklifts and other industrial vehicles. The company's buses and trucks, equipped with these batteries, are increasingly being used in industrial and urban settings.
