Lithium battery forklifts have shown significant advantages in many countries and regions around the world due to their zero emissions, high efficiency and adaptability to extreme temperatures. The following is a detailed analysis of applicable countries from four dimensions: environmental protection policies, climate conditions, infrastructure and market demand:
A. Countries/regions with strict environmental protection policies
1. EU member states
- Driving factors: The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) imposes taxes on carbon emissions of imported products and forces companies to adopt clean energy equipment.
- Case: Warehousing and logistics companies in Germany, France and other countries gradually replace diesel forklifts, with lithium battery forklifts accounting for more than 60%.
- Policy support: Government subsidies for electric forklift purchases, such as the Netherlands providing up to 30% equipment cost subsidies.
2. North America (United States, Canada)
- California AB 617 Act: requires full electrification of port equipment by 2030 to promote the popularization of lithium battery forklifts.
- Corporate ESG goals: Amazon, Walmart and other giants promise carbon neutrality in the supply chain and give priority to purchasing electric equipment.
B. Countries with strong adaptability to climatic conditions
1. Temperate and subtropical regions (China, Japan, South Korea)
- Climate advantage: The annual average temperature is 10-30℃, which is suitable for efficient operation of lithium batteries.
- Technical adaptation: HIFOUNE intelligent temperature control battery has stable output at -20℃~50℃, covering the needs of all seasons.
- Case: In the manufacturing cluster of the Yangtze River Delta in China, lithium battery forklifts account for 75% of newly purchased equipment.
2. Cold regions in Northern Europe (Norway, Sweden, Finland)
- Low temperature challenge: The capacity of traditional batteries attenuates by more than 50% at -20℃, requiring special design.
- Solution: Equipped with self-heating battery packs (such as the HIFOUNE Arctic series) to ensure normal operation at -30℃.
- Application scenario: In the cold chain warehouse of Norwegian salmon, lithium battery forklifts can achieve zero failure in winter.
C. Countries with complete power infrastructure
1. Developed countries (Singapore, Australia)
- Charging network: Singapore's industrial zone has a public fast charging station every 5 square kilometers, which supports full charging in 2 hours.
- Electricity price advantage: Australia's industrial electricity price is about $0.12 per kWh, and the energy consumption cost of lithium-ion forklifts per shift is only 1/4 of that of diesel.
2. Emerging industrialized countries (India, Thailand)
- Policy promotion: India's "FAME II" plan subsidizes the construction of charging facilities, and the construction rate of industrial parks has reached 80%.
- Market demand: Thai auto parts factories use lithium-ion forklifts, and the annual fuel cost of a single unit is more than $3,000.
D. High value-added industry clusters
1. Electronic manufacturing centers (Malaysia, Vietnam)
- Cleanliness requirements: Semiconductor workshops prohibit internal combustion equipment, and lithium-ion forklifts are the only choice.
- Efficiency requirements: Foxconn's Vietnam factory uses HIFOUNE three-point lithium-ion forklifts, and the handling efficiency of narrow channels is increased by 40%.
2. Biomedicine clusters (Switzerland, Ireland)
- Dust-free environment: Drug warehouses are required to have zero emissions, and lithium-ion forklifts are equipped with HEPA filtration systems as standard.
- Quiet advantage: noise is less than 65dB, suitable for 24-hour R&D laboratories.
E. Special scenario application countries
1. Island countries (Indonesia, Philippines)
- Energy restrictions: Diesel relies on imports, lithium-ion forklifts combined with solar charging reduce operating costs.
- Case: Indonesian palm oil mills deploy photovoltaic + lithium-ion forklifts, reducing fuel expenses by 60%.
2. Desert areas (UAE, Saudi Arabia)
- High temperature challenge: Traditional batteries are prone to overheating, and heat dissipation design needs to be strengthened.
- Solution: HIFOUNE Desert Pro series uses liquid-cooled battery packs, and the battery life is maintained at 90% in a 55°C environment.

Risks and recommendations
1. Use with caution in areas with unstable electricity (such as sub-Saharan Africa): energy storage systems or hybrid solutions are required.
2. High-load scenario restrictions (>10 tons): hydrogen or diesel-lithium hybrid models are preferred.
3. Long-term strategy: pay attention to policy trends in target countries (such as the EU's 2035 internal combustion engine ban) and plan technology upgrades in advance.
Action Guide:
- Policy-sensitive markets (Europe and the United States): focus on zero emissions + intelligent management functions.
- Emerging markets (Southeast Asia): bundle "equipment + photovoltaic charging" packages to reduce energy costs.
- Extreme climate zones: customized cold/heat dissipation kits, providing a 5-year battery warranty.
By accurately matching national needs and technological advantages, lithium battery forklifts can become a core tool for the transformation of global green logistics.
