"...not only eliminate the use of environmentally unfriendly substances such as mercury, cadmium and asbestos, but also increase the amount of recyclable parts used."

Toyota's commitment to a clean and noise-free environment has won praise from customers and environmental groups world-wide. Most recently, Toyota's U.S. lift truck production facility recently earned the ISO 14001 certification for its management system in controlling emissions reduction, waste treatment and recycling procedures. This makes Toyota the first lift truck manufacturer in the U.S. to earn ISO 14001 certification and follows a 1998 ISO 9002 quality management certification.

At Toyota, we operate under a global charter that promotes environmental responsibility throughout our entire company. Toyota's commitment to a cleaner environment for our children is as strong as our relentless pursuit of quality. With the 8-Series, Toyota demonstrates this commitment with lift trucks that not only eliminate the use of environmentally unfriendly substances such as mercury, cadmium and asbestos, but also increase the amount of recyclable parts used.

And when it comes to the quality of the air we breathe, no other lift truck company is more devoted than Toyota. The new 8-Series lift trucks features an exclusive emission system that not only surpasses 2007 Federal EPA emission standards, but also meets California's stringent 2010 emission standards—three years early. The result is a new line of lift trucks that produce 70% less smog-forming emissions than the 2007 standard.
