The world’s biggest forklift maker by revenue, Toyota Industries Corp (TICO), is in very hot water this week.

Nearly a year ago, TICO asked a panel of independent experts to investigate claims that forklift engine emission data had been fabricated.

The panel released their findings this week, revealing a slew of fabricated engine data for forklift, construction equipment and passenger vehicle engines.

More fallout is expected in the weeks and months ahead as official investigations continue.

On a lighter note, this week we also bring news a Malaysian mechanic who used a forklift to relocate parked cars blocking his business.
