Hyster introduces new engine fuelling options for lift trucks

Hyster has introduced new engine fueling options that allow its Big Trucks and A Series IC forklifts to use EN15940-compliant hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), reducing CO2 emissions.

Furthermore, the H2.0-3.5A Gas to liquid (GTL) and biomass-to-liquid (BTL) fuels can be used in a series lift truck.

These fuel alternatives may reduce CO2 emissions by up to 90%, assisting businesses in minimising their carbon footprint.

“Switching to greener fuel types, such as HVO100, may offer a stop-gap solution for some businesses to reduce their carbon footprint while moving towards electrification,” said Rob Maris, product strategy manager of big trucks for Hyster Europe.

According to Hyster’s statement, HVO is a bio-based paraffinic liquid fuel derived from a variety of vegetable oils, including rapeseed, sunflower, and soybean oil, as well as animal fats, while it may be utilised in traditional diesel engines, either pure or in combination with fossil fuel (Petro diesel). However, due to the ethanol level, some small adjustments to the fueling systems may be necessary, noted Hyster.

Regarding the Hyster A Series, these machines can also run on GTL and BtL fuel types. GTL is a natural gas-derived alternative fuel that may emit fewer emissions and contaminants than standard crude oil-based diesel. BtL fuels are synthetic fuels derived from biomass, most notably firewood, organic waste, and animal feed.
