Clean and cost-efficient option for Nissan’s European customers
Nissan Forklift Europe BV is offering the European market an option pack for all of its DX ECO-X LPG forklifts that is not only environmentally friendly but could save end-users over 10% in operating costs.
"There are several countries where CNG is rapidly emerging - like Italy, Netherlands, Austria and Spain. For example, the Netherlands has an excellent supply of natural gas in every household but it is impossible to tank CNG for your car at every gas station," Eenhoorn says. He adds that some of Nissan Forklift’s customers have a CNG infrastructure established for their day-to-day business and a CNG-run forklift could be a "natural addition" to their daily operation. 他补充到,一些尼桑叉车客户自己建有基础的CNG供应站,以满足他们的每天工作需要,并且天然气叉车已经变成他们日常工作一个“自然补充项”
"This type of company has the advantage of already owning a CNG filling station. They only have to invest in the CNG module option when buying the forklift," Eenhorn says. Cost savings achieved through running forklifts on natural gas are dependent on the customer’s situation. A customer with a CNG filling station who invests in one CNG module option could save up to 10% of the forklift’s operating costs. Larger forklift users could achieve greater cost reduction. 在已经使用的天然气叉车上节省多少费用,取决于客户的应用状态。如果客户有一个CNG加气站,购买一套CNG套件,则可以省10%的费用, 叉车使用量越多的客户可以节省更多的费用。
"Companies who have to buy the filling station and the module option, they need to have more CNG forklifts in their fleet to make it economically viable," Eenhorn explains. "Due to a number of parameters, it is difficult to say generally how many trucks a company needs to break even. We discuss with each customer to access economic viability." “如果想要建设加气站,并且购买套件的客户公司,他们需要更多的CNG叉车这样使得经济性达到最大”他解释道,“由于一些参数不确定,很难说通常需要多少叉车来达到收支平衡。我们会跟每一个客户讨论制定最佳的经济方案。”
The advantages of natural gas-run forklifts include low fuel costs, clean exhaust emissions, the ability to use the vehicle indoors, no costly LPG bottle exchange, the driver does not need to change LPG bottles and fast and easy filling for certain types of filling stations. 使用天然气作为能源的叉车具有低燃料成本,清洁排放,可以长时间室内使用,并且不用更换LPG的瓶子。驾驶员不需要更换LPG瓶子,只需要快速且简便的开到加气站加气即可。 Nissan Forklift developed the CNG module option with IMPCO Technologies by modifying the Nissan K21 and K25 LPG engines. The current Nissan fuel injection system remains but a special gas tank (CNG module) is installed. It is a patented and CE-PED certified gas tank. PED stands for the Pressure Equipment Directive that defines safety requirements for pressurised equipment sold in EU countries. 尼桑叉车与IMPCO公司合作发展此CNG模块,使用在NISSAN K21以及K25发动机上,现有的尼桑燃料喷射系统仍然保留,但是需要更换一个CNG钢瓶。这是一种专利的CE-PED认证型的气瓶。PED代表压力容器设备管理局,其保证在欧洲国家的压力设备的安全需求。 Customers that choose the option pack on top of the LPG forklift pay 10-20% more. The forklift can be converted to run back on LPG, securing its residual value when it is put on the used-truck market.
客户选择此套件,则会比LPG叉车多付10-20%的费用。叉车可以返回用LPG燃烧,保护其在用市场的价值。 |
