Toyota 1ZS engine

Toyota launches new engine
Slough, United Kingdom
Toyota Material Handling UK has introduced a new Toyota 41kW diesel engine for 1.5 to 3.5 T Tonero torque container forklifts to boost engine efficiency.
The new industrial engines have been designed and produced in-house and boast "high productivity in materials handling operations, combined with low energy consumption to help keep running costs low". The company claims it is 28% more energy efficient than its predecessor and exceeds the requirements set by the European Union exhaust emission regulation Stage 3B.
The 1ZS is a 3-cylinder, turbo-charged engine which uses common-rail direct fuel injection, which Toyota says is the ideal power unit when it comes to high-intensity stacking, long distances and high-travel speed applications. The variable nozzle turbocharger is controlled electronically to deliver high torque even at low engine speeds and is claimed to be the most compact on the market.
