Hyster Company has launched its first Tier 4 Final compliant big truck models with fuel savings of up to 25%, ideal for demanding ports, terminals and heavy industry. The company’s aggressive move toward Tier 4 Final compliance is the result of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requiring additional emission reductions over Tier 4 Interim products.

“Building on the operational success of our Tier 4 Interim products, we’ve been able to achieve even greater fuel savings for our 2014 models, reducing the total cost of ownership while meeting the new emission regulations,” said Brett Schemerhorn, president of big trucks for Hyster Company. “We’re excited about how our Tier 4 Final big trucks combine durability with fuel-saving technology to create some of the highest-performing, EPA-compliant trucks on the market.”
Hyster 40,000 to 70,000-pound trucks and empty container handlers now feature a Tier 4 Final Cummins QSB 6.7L engine with a ZF WG 211 5-speed powershift transmission. The engine offers peak power of 230hp for the H400-450HD/S and empty container handler models; and 270hp for the H550-700HD/S models. Hyster’s 80,000 to 105,000-pound trucks and ReachStackers including the H1050-1150HD-CH laden container handlers, now come standard with a Tier 4 Final Cummins QSL 9L engine with peak power of 363hp with a Dana Spicer Off-Highway TE 32 power-shift transmission.
