Case Study | BYD emission-free solution reduces forklift fleet size

When UK fruit packing business Cottage Farms switched its existing gas and lead acid battery-powered material handling fleet to BYD Iron-Phosphate battery-powered trucks, productivity levels were improved using a smaller number of machines, leading to considerable cost savings, as well as improved H&S and a beneficial environmental impact.

The significant benefits brought to Cottage Farms by the switch to BYD include:
• a smaller material handling fleet due to greater availability of equipment and longer up-time;
• reduced charging times and need for fewer chargers, thus freeing-up valuable warehouse space for additional storage;
• elimination of battery topping-up and changing, thus improving health & safety;
• elimination of acid damage to the warehouse floor, as well as elimination of acid contamination in a food processing environment;
• significant environmental benefits, as BYD trucks are energy efficient and emission-free at the point of use.
