Toyota To Launch Hybrid Lift Truck
Toyota Industries Corporation (TICO) has revealed its plan to launch internal combustion hybrid lift truck, which is expected to enter the Japanese market in December 2009. The timeline for launching in the US is not yet decided.
Toyota Group claims that hybrid technology, Geneo-Hybrid 8,000 lb counterbalanced diesel lift truck come together with an electric motor, 2.5-liter diesel engine and nickel-metal hydride battery (NMHB).
According to Toyota the NMHB reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 50%, while delivering the performance equivalent to conventional diesel-powered lift truck. NMHB does not require plug-in recharge as it gets recharged with the engine operation, making it available for multi-shift operations.
Company claims that Hybrid lift trucks provide economic benefits for customers due to lower fuel costs and improved environmental performance.
