Reporter：Anhui Forklift Group is a leading enterprise in China's industrial vehicle industry.，It is also in the forefront of the industry in the world。How to view the current development trend of the world industrial vehicle industry and China's position in the world industrial vehicle industry？
Yang Anguo：At present，Global industrial vehicle industry remains stable、The trend of moderate growth。Last year, the global production and sales of Industrial Vehicles were about 2 million units.，Of which 55%It's made in China.。In products made in China，There are about 2/3 is sold domestically，And about 1/3 Export overseas。
China is a big producer of Industrial Vehicles.，It is also a big consumer country.，So there is a saying in the industry.，Industrial vehicles are“Internationalization of domestic competition，Internalization of international competition”。Internationalization of domestic competition means that most of the world's leading industry manufacturers have production in China.、The layout of sales；The domestication of international competition refers to the improvement of technological level.，Chinese manufacturers export a large number of products.，Strength is getting stronger and stronger，It plays an increasingly important role in the global industry development pattern.。Take Anhui Forklift Group as an example.，Last year's production and sales volume was 29..20,000 units，Wherein the outlet 9.40,000 units，Accounting for more than 30% of total sales%，Overseas sales revenue increased by more than 35 percent%。Our product mix has changed a lot in recent years.，High-end products with high added value、The export volume of heavy products has risen rapidly.。Reporter：New energy is the current industrial system.、A very significant change in the economic system。How does this change affect the industrial vehicle industry?，How does Anhui Forklift Group cope with this change?？Yang Anguo：In recent years，Represented by the automobile industry，The development of new energy is very fast.。This change is more fully reflected in the industrial vehicle industry.。We anchor the development direction of green transformation.，Reconstruct the industrial strategy，Accelerating propulsion of internal combustion to electric、Lead acid to lithium、Traditional energy to new energy，Cultivate hydrogen forklift industry，Promoting New Kinetic Energy with Deep Industrial Transformation and Upgrading。In the internal combustion to electric aspect，In 2023, the proportion of electric products has increased to about 57%。In the aspect of lead-acid to lithium-ion conversion，Push outG2 series lithium battery special forklift and other products，Lithium battery products account for more than 60% of electric products%Above。Traditional energy to new energy，There are many technical routes.，Not only rely on lithium batteries，And sodium-ion batteries.、Solid state battery、Hydrogen fuel cell and other routes。We will accelerate the development of the hydrogen forklift industry.，Be the first to launch 2-10 tons of hydrogen fuel forklift products，It fills the domestic gap.，It has become the first enterprise in China to pass the type test certification to complete the hydrogen fuel forklift license.。China is in the new energy.、Great progress in electrification，It provides a good industrial and technical foundation for the industrial vehicle industry.。Any path that can be taken，We are all willing to try.，Finally, it will be tested by the market.。Reporter：There is a saying in the automobile industry.，New energy electrification is the first half of the competition.，Intelligent networking is the second half of the victory.。Is there a similar saying in the industrial vehicle industry?？Yang Anguo：There is also a saying in the industrial vehicle industry.，Actually, we brought it up.:“If fuel vehicles are the first half of industrial vehicles，Electric vehicles are the second half of industrial vehicles.，Intelligent logistics equipment is the next stage of industrial vehicles.。”This is an iteration of technology upgrade.、A progressive process.。After extensive use of electric forklifts，It is more convenient to realize intellectualization.、Networking control，From“One person, one car, one world”Go to“Unmanned multi-aircraft without boundaries”。“One person, one car, one world”That is to say, in the past, a person could drive a forklift to work.、Earn money。“Unmanned multi-aircraft without boundaries”，It means that many industrial vehicles will be unmanned in the future.，Dozens or even hundreds of industrial vehicles and related equipment are controlled by an intelligent system.，And with the factory、Connect with other management systems in application scenarios such as warehouse。This breaks through the concept of stand-alone use in the past.，An intelligent logistics equipment system has been formed.。We adapt to the changing trend of the industry，According to the Anhui Provincial Party Committee、The requirements of the provincial government and the provincial SASAC on the orientation of enterprise development，In the original complete machine、Parts、On the basis of the three leading industries in the post-market，Intelligent logistics industry as a new leading industry，Focus on strengthening cultivation。Reporter：Previously, a single forklift was produced.，In the future, it will be intelligent.、Networking，Integrate forklifts and other equipment to provide solutions，This transition is not easy.。YangAnguo：Transformation from a single equipment supplier to an intelligent logistics system integrator，It's really challenging.。Intelligent logistics is a big system.，First of all, the central control system of industrial vehicles should be constructed.，Controlling the Operation Scheduling of Industrial Vehicle、Path optimization, etc。On this basis，We also need to develop intermediate software.，Connect the vehicle control system to the customer's factory、Connected with warehouse and other management systems。Different customers may have different systems，There are also different levels of systems within the same customer。Thoroughly study these complex and diverse systems.，To customize、Develop effective and applicable middleware.，Turn our intelligent logistics system into an integral part of the customer's entire production and operation system。There are many technical thresholds that need to be broken through.，Need to tackle key problems、There are many places that need innovation.，There is a lot of work to be done.，But that's the only way to do it.，Our products and services have vitality.。Help customers improve efficiency through technological innovation、Create value，I think this is the new quality of productivity.。Done，We will be able to build the next competitive advantage of industrial vehicles.。Reporter：In the field of intelligent logistics，What progress has Anhui Forklift Group made?？Yang Anguo：We are around the forklift type、Traction type、Transfer typeAGV（Automated Guided Vehicle）System integration with intelligent logistics solution，Developing Intelligent Logistics Industry，High-end extension and expansion of industrial vehicle industry chain。By strengthening new energy technologies and 5.G、The application of new generation information technology such as artificial intelligence in products and services，We gradually build to electrify、Intelligent、Networking is the main line of development，AGVIntelligent logistics development base with the industrialization of intelligent industrial vehicles and global application of intelligent network fleet management system as the core。At present，It has formed 8 categories.、22 varietiesAGVFull range of products，And create a new intelligence.iSeries and intelligent logistics overall solution services，Overlay logistics storage、Take、Pick up、Take it、Hair、Complementary multi-scene application。At the same time，We have created a joint force.FICSIndustrial Internet platform，Comprehensively promote the development of intelligent networking of industrial vehicle products，Enabling enterprise customers to promote intelligent manufacturing、Smart operation and digital transformation。The platform has been connected to more than 3 industrial vehicle equipment.80,000 units，Platform industryAPP、More than 55 cloud software and key application modules，Form more than 10 scenario application solutions，The number of service enterprise customers exceeds 500.。Reporter：The transformation to an intelligent logistics system integrator is both a challenge and an opportunity.。As you said.，Done，It will build the competitive advantage of the next game.。When the goal is clear，How to build an advantage better and faster？What progress has been made by the Forklift Group？Yang Anguo：Actually, it's just two sentences.，One is innovation-driven.，Second, reform and empowerment.。If it comes down to one sentence,，It is talent-oriented。Talents are the main body of innovation.，Reform is also aimed at stimulating the innovative vitality of talents.。Work together to practice“People-oriented，Repay the society with high-quality products”The core values of，It is necessary to follow the instructions and requirements of the provincial Party committee's main responsible comrades to investigate the forklift group.，“Combine the efforts of the staff and worker”Strengthen and expand enterprises。Heli recruited more than 400 talents of all kinds last year.，Most of them are school recruitment。At the same time, we have also increased the social recruitment of R & D professionals in key areas.，Among them, the R & D center of the group headquarters has recruited more than 30 talents.，It is basically around the intelligent logistics equipment system.、Software-based talent，Most of them are masters and doctors.，Have overseas study experience，There are high-end talents specializing in logistics equipment research in colleges and universities.。Why should we increase our efforts to attract software talents?？From the development history of resultant force，We're working on the machine、There is a good inheritance in the field of electromechanical industry.，But the software architecture needed for the intelligent logistics system、AILack of experience in other fields，We should introduce a large number of such high-end talents.，Culturing to form new genes。After the introduction of talents，How to stimulate their innovative vitality?？This requires reform and empowerment.。We should accumulate the momentum of enterprise development through innovation of incentive mechanism.。Carry out project system and integral system for all staff、Key technologies“Uncover the list and take command”Mechanism，From negative assessment to positive counseling，From qualitative assessment to quantitative evaluation。Industrial vehicles in order to join forces（Shanghai）Limited company“Demonstration action of science reform”As an opportunity，Introducing high synergy listed companies as strategic investors to carry out mixed ownership reform，Key employees participate in corporate governance through equity participation.，Share development achievements，Further Stimulate the Endogenous Power of Intelligent Logistics Business Development。Let me add one more data.，The average age of our employees in the intelligent logistics system is 29 years old.，They have knowledge，Have wisdom，Have the courage to meet the first-class standards，Enterprises with the courage of benchmarking。Reporter：For future development，Has Anhui Forklift Group set a phased goal?？Yang Anguo：We propose“The world's top five，Hundred years of joint efforts”Corporate vision。Heli has gone through more than 60 years of development.，But to build“Hundred years of joint efforts”，We must lay a more solid foundation for the future.。Now we are ranked seventh in the world industrial vehicle industry.，Within 3 to 5 years，We strive to enter the top five in the world.。Take a longer view，We should always regard world-class as the goal and direction of our efforts.。Heli has been listed by the SASAC of the State Council in the list of world-class specialized, special and new demonstration enterprises.。Benchmarking is first-class，It's multidimensional。Production and sales volume、Revenue、R & D capability is an important measure.。We propose seven capabilities.，Has the R & D capability reached the world's first-class or top five level?？Does the management ability reach the top five?？And the ability of sustainable development.，We've been pushing it for years.ESG（Environmental Social and Governance），Has it reached the first-class level?？Can it be world-class?，It is necessary to measure the comprehensive strength.。Only the comprehensive strength is strong，Is the real class.。Reporter：Believe in joint efforts in new energy、In the transformation of intelligent networking，Be able to achieve world-class as soon as possible、The goal of the world's top five。Yang Anguo：Thank you for your wishes.，I think there is a long way to go。Some articles of this public name and《Anhui Daily》“Jianghuai
