Honestly folks, does anyone dispute that fuel is the number 2 cost in running a forklift? The operator, of course, is the number 1 cost. Should our customers care about fuel efficiency? Anyone believe that the major forklift manufacturers will come together, for the benefit of our customers, and provide objective fuel consumption data? Do any of the manufacturers even care whether their forklifts are fuel efficient? Our customers care and so should we. You may not like the Toyota methodology but let's give them the credit they deserve for bringing the subject up. Toyota is once again leading the way to improving the products we sell. Don't criticize Toyota, but rather demand that all manufacturers committ to lowering fuel usage by their forklifts. Remember this country has an energy shortage? And of course "Happy Holidays!!!"
