Marengo, Illinois - September 2006. Nissan Forklift is pleased to announce certification from both the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the California Air Resources Board (CARB), for the 2007 Standards for Large Spark-ignited (LSI) Engines, for Nissan's full line of internal combustion forklifts. The Nissan engines have been redesigned to incorporate the latest technological advances for increased efficiency and performance, while greatly reducing exhaust emissions, well below the new requirements.

'Platinum Series Cushion 50'

Nissan has taken the leadership position in clean air engine technology by receiving compliance status for Nissan's K21 and K25 gasoline, LPG, and dual fuel industrial engines. All K Series, Electronic Concentrated Control System (ECCS) engines feature electronic fuel injection, an Engine Control Module (ECM), a Vehicle Control Module (VCM), three-way catalytic converter, and heated oxygen sensor. The ECM controls the basic engine functions and determines the exact air/fuel ratio, torque, and speed needed to meet the demands of the application, while delivering very high combustion efficiency for lower fuel consumption and the lowest emission levels. The VCM monitors a variety of sensors in order to provide greater engine and transmission control. With a sophisticated CAN (Computer Area Network) system, the engine's ECM, VCM and Easi-View meter panel can easily communicate critical information to the operator and technician.
