As European legislation continues to focus on the reduction of emissions for internal combustion engines, Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks has highlighted the role of its GRENDiA models for companies looking to lower their carbon footprint.

Stewart Gosling, Sales Director at Red Diamond Distribution - the exclusive UK importer of Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks - said, “At the start of 2019 Euro V emission standards came into force for working vehicles, and that has significant implications for anyone looking to purchase forklifts in the next year.”

All IC engine forklifts, which for the first time includes both liquid petroleum gas (LPG) and diesel vehicles, will now have to comply regardless of their engine size. All new Mitsubishi LPG forklifts are now fully compliant with Euro V.

The Mitsubishi GRENDiA ES offers exceptional energy-efficient features including a closed-loop, three-way catalytic converter that reduces carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions. Mitsubishi claims it also eliminates 95% of dangerous NOx gases — making it one of the cleanest models, if not the cleanest model, on the market.

Stewart Gosling concluded, “It helps to have peace of mind during these times of regulation change, and with our GRENDiA ES models you can be confident in your compliance with Euro V.”
