Toyota Industries Corporation (TICO), a subsidiary of Irvine-based Toyota Material Handling USA, announced it will launch the world's first internal combustion hybrid lift truck. Sales will begin in the Japanese market this December.
The global leader in materials handling, TICO sold more than 193,000 lift trucks worldwide in 2008, and was listed on FORTUNE magazine's World's Most Admired Companies Top 50 list. Irvine-based Toyota Material Handling, USA Inc. (TMHU) is the U.S. distributor for Toyota material handling products, is a TICO subsidiary.
Drawing on the Toyota Group's leadership and innovation in hybrid technology, the ground-breaking 'GENEO-HYBRID' 8,000 lb. counterbalanced lift truck combines a 2.5-liter diesel engine, electric motor and nickel-metal hydride battery to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 50 percent.
As businesses look to reduce fuel costs and decrease CO2 emissions, Toyota Hybrid technology offers a practical, proven solution by capitalizing on the advantages of existing fuel sources and infrastructure.
The GENEO-HYBRID lift truck is expected to cut CO2 emissions and fuel
consumption in half while delivering the same operational performance
as a conventional diesel-powered lift truck. The result is a lift truck
that provides both improved environmental performance and economic
benefits for customers due to lower fuel costs.
