Forklift engine shortlisted

In contention for both the ‘innovation’ and ‘environment’ awards, the G2 engine takes a new approach to reducing particulates while delivering robust high performance.

The G2, fitted to 2.0t to 3.5t forklift models, uses a new combustion system to comply with the latest emissions legislation while removing the need for a diesel particulate filter (DPF). The resulting clean burn engine not only meets US Tier 4-final and EU Stage IIIB emissions requirements – but also powers the EU’s first Euro IV compliant trucks.

Other features of the G2 engine include an advanced fuel injection system which improves fuel efficiency by 33% while reducing vibration by 33% and noise levels by 10%.
