In 2006, Toyota introduced the new 8-Series line, the world’s cleanest internal combustion lift truck. The 8-Series signifies both Toyota’s leadership and innovation, as it features an exclusive emission system that not only surpasses 2007 federal EPA emission standards, but also meets California’s stringent 2010 emission standards well ahead of schedule. The result is a lift truck that produces 70 percent less smog-forming emissions than the 2007 federal standard.

With the 8-Series, actions speak louder than words—Toyota has developed a product that not only substantially reduces the use of environmentally harmful substances in the manufacturing process, but also increases the amount of recyclable parts used.
