Optimise your internal logistics with Toyota I_Site
Toyota has always been a pioneer in environmentally-respectful technology.
But technology alone is not enough.
Eco-driving not only brings down costs by reducing fuel use, but also
contributes to reduced carbon dioxide emissions, widely acknowledged
as contributing to climate change. Just by changing the way they drive,

This may be stating the obvious but there might be many aspects of your operation that
could be optimised to reduce the overall energy consumption of your forklift fleet.
Toyota I_Site helps you to do just this, for example, by providing data to calculate the
right number – and type – of trucks you need to reduce your overall energy
consumption. Being a Toyota I_Site operation means your internal logistics processes
will be continually assessed and analysed, allowing us to work with
you to eliminate inefficiencies and drive down your costs.
This not only means reduced costs for you, but also reduced impact on the environment.
You could think of Toyota I_Site as a process of continuous improvement. At Toyota, we
call it kaizen, and its part of what we do every day.

Guide to Eco-driving

Eco-driving is an environmentally considerate way of driving that reduces CO2 emissions. If
every driver made an effort to drive economically it would be a significant help in our efforts
to prevent climate change.
Eco-driving with your forklift.
Guide to Eco-driving
We all share concerns about energy costs and the environment. Small changes in the way you
drive, staying up-to-date with maintenance, optimising internal logistics – all of these can
reduce
your CO2 emissions, as well as saving you money. Follow these tips to achieve the
Kg
greatest benefits from eco-driving:

Keep your windows
closed (use
ventilation system
when possible)
Plan your route
and avoid
detours
Kg
Keep up-to-date with maintenance
To maintain the forklift’s efficiency, get it
services according to the manufacturer’s
schedule.

Train your drivers
Good training makes your drivers more aware of how to
drive efficiently for example learn to approach a stacking
destination correctly at the first attempt, avoiding
unnecessary manoeuvring.

short journeys

Choose the right engine oil and air filter
Make sure you use the correct specification of engine
oil (refer to the service manual and advice from Toyota).
Fluid levels should be checked every month and kept
in line with manufacturer recommendations. Check the
air filter – if clogged, fuel consumption will increase.
Switch off your engine if you have
to wait longer than 30-60 seconds
And don’t start the engine until
you are ready to go.

Drive considerately
Don’t make sudden changes in speed. Maintain a
steady pace within the limit of your premises. Drive
smoothly, accelerate gently and read the road ahead
to avoid unnecessary braking.

Choose the best tyres and
check their condition frequently
Under-inflated tyres increase fuel
consumption and shorten life truck.
Check tyres at least once a week.
Pneumatic-shaped cushion tyres need to be
replaced periodically. New tyres give better
grip and are bigger, therefore requiring fewer
revolutions to travel same distance, and lead
to fuel savings.
Decelerate smoothly
When you have to slow down or stop,
decelerate smoothly by releasing the
accelerator in good time.
Plan your wharehouse flow
By optimising your warehouse flow, you gain
time and fuel consumption to be more efficient.
