A BYD will present its complete solution in clean energy generation and storage, electric mobility and green logistics to visitors who go to the Intermodal 2023, considered the largest logistics, cargo transportation and foreign trade event in the Americas.
The 27th edition of Intermodal, which takes place between February 28th and March 2nd, at the São Paulo Expo, in São Paulo (SP), is expected to bring together 500 exhibiting brands and receive approximately 40,000 visitors over the three days.
According to the company, the main launch will be the new reach truck RTR 20, with a load capacity of two tons. “BYD is a pioneer and revolutionized the Brazilian 100% electric forklift market.”
“It was the first brand to arrive in the country with models equipped with a lithium battery. Now, we present the new RTR 20 reach truck, an expected launch in the Brazilian market”, he said Juliano Cheng, sales manager for BYD forklifts in Brazil.
Alongside another model in the line, the RTR 16 It has a load capacity of 1.6 tons and is now available on the market. Both have a 3-stage panoramic mast, 80 V voltage, a tower up to 11.5 meters high and a charging time of less than 1.5 hours.
Another point highlighted by the company is that BYD electric forklifts guarantee autonomy for three shifts, with partial recharges (without memory effect), allowing full recharge in up to two hours, compared to eight hours for traditional lead-acid ones. “Using a single battery and fast charging reduces operating costs and increases productivity.”
For Henry Antunes, Director of Sales and Marketing at BYD Brasil, the manufacturer's logistics solutions bring great benefits not only in reducing costs in fleets, but also respecting the limits of the planet and, in particular, helping to reduce carbon emissions, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
“This will benefit future generations through sustainable technologies and also contribute to one of our missions, which is to cool the Earth by 1°C,” he added.
