BYD’s lithium iron-phosphate battery chemistry is completely nontoxic, offering the industry’s safest and longest-lasting power source. Founded as a battery company in 1995, BYD is now one of the world’s largest battery manufacturers, producing 40 GWh of battery capacity in 2019 and ramping up to produce 65 GWh in 2020.

BYD forklifts are designed as a single piece of integrated technology using proprietary battery management software that provides seamless communication between systems.

An industry-leading 7:1 charging ratio* means that nearly all of the truck’s time can be spent in service, simplifying scheduling and reducing the number of forklifts required. BYD’s advanced batteries can be charged anytime, for any amount of time—just like a cell phone. Top up during a break or charge overnight without worrying about strict charging schedules.

BYD’s 110-volt charger plugs into any wall outlet for maximum flexibility, allowing for overnight charging without higher-voltage wiring.

BYD was the first forklift manufacturer to offer a lithium-powered battery system and continues to be the only forklift manufacturer that is fully vertically integrated, from the battery cells themselves all the way up through the rest of the vehicle.

With such unparalleled longevity in the market and a proven track record of extended lifecycle batteries, BYD has established an impressive mountain of accomplishments that will be difficult for any challenger to topple.
