manufacturers will be keen to gloss over but they will have a very real impact on business productivity and, ultimately, the bottom line.
FRESH THINKING
These fl awed approaches share the same Achilles’ heel. They apply existing thinking to create a solution that is not worthy of the name. They do not tackle the problem head-on with innovation, which is where DIV comes in. Having invested millions of pounds to develop and deploy new, effi cient and compliant engines, the need for a DPF is completely removed thus signifi cantly reducing operating costs. Doosan Industrial Vehicle was able to develop the award-winning G2 engine, which won the Innovation category at the FLTA Awards 2014, thanks to its unique position as a specialist industrial truck business with all the advantages and synergies of being part of the wider Doosan conglomerate. The result? Lower fuel consumption, longer maintenance intervals and maintenance-free after-treatment systems lower the total cost of ownership over the life of the engine. As such, the payback period of the G2 is faster than with any other engine in this class. “Unlike some
competitors, we are not simply reusing technology derived from – and more applicable to – the automotive industry,” explains Tim Waples, director of DIV UK. “We are fully focused on forklifts, as is our 80 - strong research and development team. At the same time we can draw on technological advances from other manufacturing divisions within the Doosan Group such as Doosan Infracore Engine Division. It all adds up to award-winning, innovative solutions to meet our customers’ needs.”
MULTIPLE OPTIONS
In addition to the G2’s huge maintenance advantage over other engines, it also provides best-in-class performance on fuel economy and emissions. The new range of Doosan G2 ‘DPF-Free’ engines will be fi tted into the Diesel 2.0t to 9.0t range,
available in the UK from October onwards. The smaller 2.4-litre engine will go into the 2.0t to 3.5t range, which independent tests in line with the Urban Phase of the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) at the world- renowned Millbrook Proving Ground, have shown fuel consumption is reduced by more than 30% compared to the previous model. With fi gures as low as 2.09 litres per hour in standard mode and 1.67 litres per hour when the optional speed limiter is deployed, it has achieved some of the best fuel consumption fi gures ever seen in the forklift industry. It
to comply with Stage IV, thus maximising the cleanliness of the emissions whilst giving the best possible fuel consumption. Doosan Industrial Vehicle will also be launching a brand new 10.0t to 16.0t range, available in four capacities (10t/12t/14t/16t), with a Euro Stage IV compliant Doosan DL06 engine, in early 2015. And, later in the year, Doosan will launch the biggest range of trucks (DV160/ DV200/DV250) of capacities up to 25.0-tonnes at 1,200mm load centre – all complying with the Euro Stage IV regulations.
ELECTRIC TRUCKS
Having rethought and redesigned the diesel engine to transform it into a low-emission option, DIV is also further increasing the options available to customers by launching a completely new range of electric trucks. An innovative new battery change system will assist multi- shift operations to overcome the health and safety issues caused by conventional battery change mechanisms, whilst the performance statistics of the new range have been increased to compete directly with the IC engine truck’s performance, giving customers a genuine choice between engine or electric. The electric range is available from 1.5t, in both three-wheel and four-wheel options, right up to gigantic 80-volt 5.0t machines. Tim Waples says of the new products: “We are really excited about launching our new products to the UK market and we’re delighted that our R&D Team in our Korean
exceeds all Euro Stage 3B legislation and already
complies with the Full Tier 4 legislation now in force in North America – and all without the need for a high-maintenance DPF. The more powerful 3.4-litre version will be
fi tted to the 4.0t to 9.0t ranges in three different power outputs (55kW/74kW/82kW) to suit every application. The 55kW will use the same Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) exhaust treatment technology along with an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system as the 2.4-litre engine. The larger two options will use DOC in combination with a Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) system plus AdBlue

factory has been able to come up with such incredible innovation. They’ve exceeded new Euro-Emission regulations and maintained the performance of our machines, while ensuring that Doosan products remain cost-effi cient to purchase and to run, as well as being among the most environmentally friendly.” Some companies believe innovation is all about adding something fl ashy to their truck. Doosan Industrial Vehicle avoids gimmicks and stays focused on what their customers need: innovation that applies technology in order to help them do their jobs better. There can be no clearer example than the revolutionary approach to meeting the regulatory challenge, and the new trucks the company is rolling out. Whether diesel or electric, innovation comes as standard.
