Nissan Motor Co Ltd has introduced the redesigned engine-powered Agres and Agres compact forklifts that go on sale on 18 September in Japan.

The Agres forklifts are available in 1.0-3.5 ton (2,205lb-7,716lb) models and Agres compact forklifts come in 0.9-2.5 ton (1,984lb-5,512lb) models.

The 2-ton (4,409lb) and 3-ton (6,614lb) diesel Agres forklifts feature Nissan's newly developed QD32 engine. The engine complies with Japan's 2008 exhaust emission regulations for special motor vehicles ahead of their enforcement date.

Petrol and LPG Agres models and compact forklifts are powered by ECCS (electronic concentrate controlled system) engines that are fitted with a standard three-way catalytic muffler system.

The forklift engines come in power and economy operating modes. The economy mode for a 1.5 ton (3,307lb) full-sized forklift model prevents excessive engine revving in the high-speed range and reduces fuel consumption by about 17% compared with the power mode, according to a Nissan statement.

Nissan says the Agres lines are its principal forklift series. It has set a domestic sales target of 4,000 units a year for the forklifts. Overseas market sales have been targeted at 3,000 units a year.
