Hyundai Material Handling has introduced a new Stage V series with a full range of 9V models. The new portfolio represents a smart generation of diesel forklifts from 2.5 to 5 T lifting capacity. The new models span 2.5 to 3.5 T of lifting capacity (Diesel 9V series) and 3.5 to 5 T (Diesel 9VB/VC series) and all comply with the European stage V emission levels. Commenting on the new forklift series, Christopher Thompson, head of sales - Western Europe for materials handling, says: "Our new Stage V 'Packed with Smartness' range of diesel forklifts demonstrates Hyundai's commitment to continuous product development in response to the needs of our European customers. Our new stage V engines offer significant improvements in fuel efficiency along with easy maintenance, resulting in lower operating costs. "However, this is not the end of the story. We also took this opportunity to develop new and enhanced features which have a positive impact on driver comfort, safety and performance. Add to this the best standard warranty in the industry and you know that Hyundai Material Handling is a reliable 'go to' partner." A heavy line range of diesel machines will be launched in the second half of 2021.
