Toyota is committed to continuously improving our own environmental stewardship, and asking our partners to do the same. Instituting recycling programs, minimizing pollution and promoting the advantages of electric-powered lift trucks are just a few considerations that make a difference. Here are some ideas that will help your facility become more environmentally friendly, and many can lower your operating costs:
Increase your number of alternative fuel lift trucks, whether electric, propane or CNG. For example, propane is non-toxic and clean-burning, so it's versatile enough for indoor or outdoor applications. It's also safe and economical, and requires little maintenance.
Start a recycling program at your facility. Set goals for reduction in waste that goes to landfills.
Install an energy-efficient lighting system.
Encourage your vendors and partners to adopt "green" initiatives.
Encourage carpooling among employees and offer incentives for doing so.
See if fast charging makes sense for your facility, and reduce the number of batteries used.
