Electric construction equipment produces zero carbon emissions and supports green building techniques because it doesn’t need gasoline or diesel fuel. This is a crucial advantage.
Lithium-ion batteries are the power source for all-electric machinery, which effectively eliminates the need for fossil fuels. For businesses operating in emission-restricted regions where the use of diesel-powered equipment is prohibited, these battery-powered devices are a must.
Since the construction sector frequently adopts new technology slowly, not all machines now available have an electric version. However, as technology develops, equipment producers are gradually releasing new versions.
The Africa Electric Construction Equipment Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2027.
While IC models continue to command the majority of the forklift market share in African markets, manufacturers are also observing an increase in end users’ interest in electric versions.
For instance, the 3-tonne diesel model from Hangcha continues to be the brand’s top seller in Africa. However, Zhang emphasises that innovation continues to represent a crucial focus for the manufacturer given that warehouses, logistics, ports, and industries are driving demand for forklift trucks across the continent.
Customers in Africa are finding the XC Series forklifts to be very popular, and Hangcha has introduced lithium-ion forklifts that enjoy the same great performance delivered by IC models while benefiting from reduced noise, zero emissions, and low total cost of ownership. The company plans to introduce more lithium-ion models to these markets in the future.
