SANY Group Makes Strides in Sustainable Logistics with Electric Forklift Delivery in Qatar
SANY Group Makes Significant Electric Forklift Delivery in Qatar
On September 2, 2025, SANY Robotics, a division of SANY Group, celebrated a notable milestone by delivering 40 advanced electric forklifts to a logistics project in Qatar. This delivery is the largest of its kind in the Middle East and is set to power the Abu Samra Border logistics project. It exemplifies SANY's commitment to promoting sustainable and efficient logistics in the region.
The world has seen a pressing demand for clean energy solutions, and SANY is meeting this need through advancements in technology and a strategic path focused on globalization, digitalization, and decarbonization. The company's electric forklifts are engineered with sophisticated new-energy vehicle technologies, marking a significant progression from traditional diesel models known for high emissions and energy consumption.
Advancements in Electric Forklift Technology
Historically, electric forklifts have been limited in their effectiveness, often suffering from issues such as insufficient power, range anxiety, and adaptability challenges under extreme conditions. Recognizing these pain points, SANY has revolutionized its forklift design by incorporating a 300V high-voltage lithium platform. This unique technology ensures that their electric forklifts can achieve diesel-equivalent power performance.
The electric forklifts feature a full-load gradeability of 25% and an impressive cycle of one hour of charging for eight hours of operation. Such capabilities minimize concerns surrounding battery life and efficiency, particularly in demanding environments like ports and chemical plants. Moreover, these forklifts have undergone stringent technical testing to certify their performance reliability, even under harsh conditions such as extreme heat, humidity, and substantial loads.
Creating a Smart Logistics Ecosystem
SANY’s commitment goes beyond just delivering robust machinery. The company is integrating autonomous driving and artificial intelligence into their electric forklift technology, paving the way for a comprehensive, low-carbon logistics ecosystem that encompasses all elements from warehousing to handling and loading. This forward-thinking approach highlights SANY's dedication to driving a global transformation towards green logistics.
As of today, SANY's electric forklifts operate in over 50 countries and on more than 40 challenging job sites worldwide. The company continuously invests in intelligent manufacturing innovations, with a reported investment of $300 million in R&D in the first half of 2025 alone, which constitutes over 5% of its total revenue.
Looking Ahead
As SANY moves forward, the company plans to further enhance its product offerings and sustainable solutions to deliver greater value to its customers and partners globally. The recent delivery of electric forklifts not only signifies SANY's commitment to sustainability but also reflects its strategic positioning within the expanding realm of smart logistics and warehousing.
With the momentum of globalization and the urgent need for greener alternatives, SANY Group continues to be a trailblazer in making logistics more sustainable and efficient through innovative technology and persistent dedication to its mission.
This remarkable advancement highlights SANY’s role as a vital player in the journey towards reducing carbon footprints across various industries in the region and emphasizes its vision for a greener, more sustainable future in logistics.
