DIV UK launches forklifts with new engines
Northampton, United Kingdom

Doosan Industrial Vehicle United Kingdom (DIV UK) has launched five new 2.0 to 3.5T capacity forklifts that have Doosan's G2 diesel engine.
With the G2 engines, the new D20S-7, D25S-7, D30S-7, D33S-7 and D35C-7 models will meet stringent new EU emissions standards without using diesel particulate filters.
Tim Waples, director of DIV UK, says: "New Euro stages IIIB and IV regulations require the latest engines to achieve an enormous 90% reduction in emissions of gases and particulates compared to the power units they replace, a real challenge [for] engine manufacturers. To meet the challenge our in-house engine division invested millions of pounds developing an engine that changes the game in diesel combustion, without the operator ending up out of pocket."
The G2 engine won the innovation category at the 2014 FLTA awards.

Ergonomics and functionality are central to its design and operator comfort is prioritised.
Toyota Material Handling has received more than 25 design awards so far, including 16 good design awards. In 2006, the Tonero 1.5 to 3.5 T truck received a good design award.
