The following is a detailed analysis of countries where LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) forklifts are suitable, combining multi-dimensional assessments such as energy policies, climate conditions, and market demand, with specific country cases attached:

A. The core advantages and applicable conditions of LPG forklifts

B. 5 typical scenarios in countries where LPG forklifts are suitable

1. Countries with abundant and low-priced LPG resources

-Middle East oil-producing countries: Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar

-LPG retail price ≈ $0.3/liter (global average $0.8), fuel cost is only 60% of diesel

-Government subsidies promote the popularization of LPG vehicles (such as Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030" energy transformation plan)

2. Regions with severe winter cold

-Russia, Canada, Nordic countries

-Low temperature causes the range of electric forklifts to shrink by more than 50%, and LPG forklifts have obvious cold start advantages

-Case: In Russia's Siberian Logistics Center, LPG forklifts account for 70% of winter equipment

3. Developing countries in the transition period of environmental protection policies

-India, Brazil, Mexico

-Gradually phasing out highly polluting diesel forklifts, but electrification infrastructure lags behind

-Policy example: India's "Clean Energy Plan" exempts LPG industrial vehicles from consumption tax

4. Regions with developed gas infrastructure

-Japan, South Korea, Italy

- The density of LPG gas stations is high (one per 50km² on average in Japan), and ventilation is convenient

- Cultural factors: 80% of indoor warehouses in Japan are forced to use LPG/electric forklifts

5. Countries dominated by multi-shift and high-intensity work scenarios

- Southeast Asian manufacturing bases: Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia

- Electronic OEM factories and auto parts factories that operate continuously for 24 hours rely on LPG forklifts for rapid energy replenishment

- Case: A tire factory in Thailand, 30 LPG forklifts work an average of 18 hours a day, and each unit saves $1,200 in fuel costs per month

C. Comparison of LPG forklift market penetration rates in various countries (2023 data)

D. Scenario decision tree for LPG forklift vs electric/diesel forklift

Is it necessary to work indoors?

├─ Yes → Choose electric or LPG (need to evaluate ventilation conditions)

│ ├─ Average daily operation > 10 hours → LPG (fast ventilation)

│ └─ Strict environmental regulations → electric

└─ No → Compare fuel costs and climate

├─ Low temperature (<-10℃) → LPG/diesel

└─ High temperature/cheap fuel → diesel

E. Risk Warning

1. Policy risks: The EU plans to completely ban the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles (including LPG) by 2035, and it is necessary to pay attention to the policy trends of the target countries

2. Energy substitution: Hydrogen energy forklifts are accelerating in Japan, South Korea, and Germany (such as Toyota has launched a hydrogen fuel prototype vehicle)

3. Economic fluctuations: After the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the price of LPG in Europe rose by more than 200%, and some companies turned to electrification

F. Conclusion and Recommendations

Types of countries that prioritize the promotion of LPG forklifts:

Rich LPG resources (Middle East, Russia)

Severe winters (Canada, Northern Europe)

Slow transition to electrification (India, Southeast Asia)  

Action suggestions:

1. Build a cooperative network of LPG filling stations in target countries (such as cooperation with Saudi Aramco and India IOCL);

2. Develop dual-fuel (LPG + gasoline) forklifts to adapt to areas with unstable energy;

3. Strengthen the anti-corrosion design of LPG engines for high-humidity and high-heat markets (such as Southeast Asia).
