Konecranes said that its new Battery as a Service (BaaS) will makes the purchase decision much easier for its range of E-VER range of Li-Ion powered electric forklift trucks by balancing out cost versus return on investment.<\/p>\n
This is because represents a better balance between the capital expenditure (CAPEX) and the operating expenditure (OPEX) which is also more comparable to the LCC distribution of a diesel engine powered lift truck.<\/p>\n
Battery service<\/strong><\/p>\n Through the new service, Konecranes provides chargeable, upgradable and remotely monitorable Li-ion batteries to its BaaS users.<\/p>\n This allows the customers to purchase an E-VER electric heavy forklift without a battery and to choose the best battery set up that suits their needs.<\/p>\n The battery is subscribed to a monthly fee, based on its actual usage which can be monitored in real-time at yourKonecranes.com customer portal (meaning that the battery itself become the OPEX).<\/p>\n This continuous monitoring can not only help guarantee the optimal performance of the battery, but it also represents a future-proof solution to long-existing challenges such as battery degradation, battery renewal, battery upgradability and lower resale value.<\/p>\n In other words, the service keeps the machine resale value independent from the battery degradation.<\/p>\n Batteries can be renewed when the rental agreement comes to an end or if needed by the renter during the hire period.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A battery financing and support service has been launched for electric forklift truck customers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":1859,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[218,167,219,130,215,217,216],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-1858","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy-technology-greenport","tag-batteries","tag-efficiency","tag-electric-forklift-trucks","tag-emissions","tag-konecranes","tag-li-ion","tag-remote-monitoring"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1858","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1858"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1858\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1860,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1858\/revisions\/1860"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1859"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1858"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1858"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1858"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=1858"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
