ABOUT BYD
The BYD Company Limited employs 180.000 employees with a yearly turnover of over €8.5 billion, and is
headquartered in Shenzhen (China).
BYD FORKLIFT
BYD ebus – Pure Electric
BYD e6 – Pure Electric
Established in 1995, BYD is listed on both the Hong Kong and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges, and specializes in
forklift, automotive, electric vehicles and buses, as well as in new energy (solar) and IT, with its ultimate goal
to spur mass-market adoption of green technologies and help preserve the environment, reduce air pollution
and resolve global energy crisis.
BYD Europe has been present in Europe since 1999, servicing the European market for batteries and energy
storage solutions from Rotterdam. Lately BYD Europe has become a major supplier of pure electric solutions
to public transportation all over Europe. Major countries like the Germany, UK, France, Netherlands, Spain and
Poland are using BYD pure electric buses and/or taxis.
BYD Forklift started operations in 2010 in Shaoguan (China), with a one million ㎡ – 50.000 units per year
factory, equipped with the latest manufacturing technology such as automatic robot welding. The BYD forklifts
have been since then marketed in China, and will be sold and serviced in all of Europe starting 2015. The BYD
forklift headquarters is located since 2013 in Rotterdam.

THE BYD CONCEPT
THE LOWEST COST OF OPERATION
Owning and operating a forklift entails many costs in addition to the purchase price or the rental monthly fee.
We call them hidden costs, and can be very high, depending on the power technology used, be that an internal
combustion engine or a battery powered forklift.

INVESTMENT IN NEW BATTERIES EVERY 4-6 YEARS IS UNNECESSARY WITH A BYD FORKLIFT
The BYD lithium iron phosphate battery has an extremely long life.
Compared with a life of 1.000-1.500 cycles of a typical lead-acid battery, the BYD battery will operate much
longer. After 4.000 cycles the BYD battery will retain 75% of its capacity.
75% remaining capacity after 4.000 cycles means that the BYD battery will continue to operate for many more
years.
10 Year Operation
BYD solution: 1 battery
Single shift - light use
Single shift - heavy use
Multi-shift
CHARGING THE BYD WAY
The BYD batteries are charged so fast that they never need to be removed from the forklift.
Depending on the chosen BYD charger, full charging takes 1.5 hours or even less.
Quick charging at lunch break will keep the BYD forklift ready for the rest of the shift. Of course side charging
is so easy that the coffee breaks can be also used without reducing the life expectancy of the battery (no
memory effect).

Lead-acid solution: many batteries
• Energy loss due to heating resulting from lead-acid battery charging
• Labour time to maintain the lead-acid battery (frequent level checking and refilling)
• Labour time to regularly replace the empty battery with a fully charged one
• Large amounts of expensive distilled water for lead-acid batteries

MORE PRODUCTIVITY, SAFETY, AND DRIVER SATISFACTION WITH A BYD FORKLIFT
With a BYD forklift, the driver’s time utilization is optimized. Instead of spending time replacing the battery,
more productive tasks can be performed.
Side charging is extremely user friendly and minimizes the risks of accident. A safer environment and happier
drivers impact productivity in a positive way.

COUNTERBALANCE FORKLIFT
Ergonomically designed forklift to reduce driver fatigue and optimize productivity.
Ultra-fast charging and one battery for life result in lower operating costs.
Dual AC front drive motors and oil- immersed brakes, as well as a maintenance-free battery
guarantee less maintenance costs.
User-friendly side-charging and comprehensive safety features maximize driver’s satisfaction.
Automatic Speed Reduction when Cornering
The speed of the truck will be automatically reduced when cornering to enhance lateral
stability and reduce the risk of tipping over.
Slow Fast
Braking Assist System
Braking Assist System allows the truck to stand still instead of rolling forward or backwards
after releasing the brake on a slope.
Overload Protection
When load exceeds 10% of the rated load capacity, the lifting motor stops working for
safety concern.

PALLET TRUCK
Electric Power Steering
Allows the operator to maneuver the pallet truck with great ease and
reduces fatigue
Shock-absorbing and anti-skid platform
Delivers stable and comfortable standing for operator.
180 degree rotatable steering handle
Enables forklift work in narrow places.
Ergonomically designed
Steering tiller handles with perfect touch match hands of different size.
Automatic shut down
When handle is released or in vertical and horizontal position.
The forklift will reverse immediately
Once the operator leans on the reverse protection button.
The ergonomically designed BYD pallet truck offers maximum versatility due to its standard foldable platform
and foldable side support protection side bars. It can be used to speedily load and unload trucks as well as in
reduced space warehouse operations.
Efficient top charging of the lithium iron phosphate battery allows for increased productivity and lower operat-
ing costs.
As with any other BYD forklift, the life time battery can be partially charged and never needs to be removed,
thus increasing operator user friendliness and safety, while greatly reducing fatigue.
