New GENEO—Setting New Standards for
Safety and Environmental Friendliness
To respond to customers’ needs and ensure satisfaction, the newGENEO (8-Series overseas) 1- to 3.5-ton internal combustion
lift truck was developed in pursuit of higher levels of safety,
environmental features and ease of use.
Note: In September 2006, Toyota Industries commenced sales of this product series inJapan. They will be introduced gradually to the U.S. and European markets. Please

Higher Level of Safety• SAS (System of Active Stability)
SAS is an original system developed by Toyota Industries thatrealizes operator safety and greater operating efficiency.
• OPS (Operator Presence Sensing)
OPS prevents operators from driving the lift truck when they’re
not seated in the proper operating position.
• Travel and Load Handling Control (option)
Lift-height and load-sensing features in terms of vehicle speed andpreventing sudden acceleration realize improved travel and load
handling control.

Environmental and Operator Friendliness• Cleaner Exhaust Emissions
The new GENEO realizes reductions in the volume of COemissions by 57% and NOx and HC emissions by 99% withoutcompromising power.
• Low Fuel Consumption & Low-Vibration Design
The new GENEO boasts top-level performance with reductions infuel consumption by 15% and vibration by 90%.
High Operability• Small-Diameter Steering Wheel
The small-diameter steering wheel enables operators to easily
maneuver using small movements and thus reduce operator stress.
• Wide Floor Space
Wide floor space ensures operators can work long hours
comfortably without fatigue.

Logis-Tech Tokyo 2006—“Toward a New Future for Logistics Solutions and Lift Trucks”
Toyota Industries exhibited its new GENEO (8-Series overseas) lift truck as
well as a concept model incorporating its hybrid technologies at Logis-Tech
Tokyo 2006, an international material handling, storage and distribution
exhibition held in September 2006. Based on the theme “LogisticsSolutions,” Toyota Industries held a demonstration of actual on-site work
operations featuring its cutting-edge IT technologies as well as automatedstorage and retrieval systems and other systems.
Backed by an extensive product lineup, along with a strong sales andservice network, we remain committed to providing our full support inbuilding optimal logistics environments for our customers.

Hybrid lift trucks
Utilizing the Toyota Group’s
hybrid technologies andcomponents, Toyota
Industries is developing highly
efficient hybrid systems for
