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.

Geneo recognised with award
Tokyo, Japan

Toyota Industries Corporation (TICO) has received a good design award 2014 for the Toyota Geneo, the Japanese equivalent of the European Tonero 3.5-8.0T counterbalanced forklift.
According to TICO, the Geneo is built using a powerful, efficient engine that delivers low fuel consumption and emissions, "combining high productivity with environmental consciousness".
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.
Since 1957, the good design award has established itself as a reference point for quality design in Japan. It promotes domestic and overseas companies and designers working to improve industries and society through innovative design.
