Nissan Green Program

How Nissan can help you achieve your green credentials

From automobiles to forklifts, Nissan's corporate philosophy of creating a "symbiosis of people, vehicles and nature" expresses our ideal picture of a sustainable mobile society.

Nissan's contribution to the creation of such a society includes a variety of goals designed to manage the environmental impact generated by our corporate activities, customer use of Nissan products, and the company's use of resources to a level that is all within nature's capacity to absorb.

With the creation of the Nissan Green Program 2010 - our medium-term environmental action plan - several specific targets have been established as we continue to steadily move forward in achieving the Program's goals:

Green Program

  1. Minimise CO2 emissions to reduce overall carbon footprint.
  2. Reduce harmful emissions, including Vocs (Volatile organic compounds) to protect the atmosphere, water and soil.
  3. Recycle resources – reduce, reuse and recycle to attain 100% resource recovery rate.

The new ECCS engine comes with a factory-fitted, 3-way closed-loop catalytic converter system as a standard feature, resulting in one of the cleanest and most fuel efficient engines on the planet.

Nissan is one of the only forklifts on the market that can bum gas fuels through an electronic fuel injection system, resulting in fuel consumption reduction of up to 5.5% over the carburettor model. By flicking the power/economy switch to economy mode a further 17% fuel reduction is achieved resulting in a massive 22.5% overall reduction in fuel consumption as well as lower noise levels.

All these benefits provide not only a forklift that can add value to any company's green status, but also significant running cost savings.

 ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP BEGINS AT HOME

Nissan's commitment to being a true advocate of our planet extends beyond our product line-up. It means consideration of the methods we employ in manufacturing our forklifts, determining how those processes impact our environment and finding ways to continuously improve them to minimise their impact. In addition to the requirements of ISO-14001 activities, Nissan's green initiatives include the following changes to further reduce energy consumption, improve air quality and reduce the amount of non-recyclable materials that leave our facility:

Nissan Initiatives

  1. Reprogramming of automated operational systems that contributed to a 10% reduction in energy consumed.
  2. Implementation of process enhancements that reduced process water in our paint department by 69%.
  3. Implementation of single stream recycling program used by employees (glass, aluminum & plastic containers).
  4. Maintaining active recycling programs for cardboard, paper, plastic, steel & wood; while investigating & implementing returnable packaging for selected parts.

Regular maintenance is the easiest way to ensure maximum uptime from your Nissan forklift. It will help ensure your forklift is always running cost-effectively and safely.

As part of our Periodic Maintenance Program we also provide you with a fully customised report, tailored to meet your specific information requirements.

For our rental customers we take into account each customer’s unique usage requirements when maintaining their forklifts in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
