Nissan Forklift (Marengo, Ill.) has received compliance certifications from both the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for the 2007 Standards for Large Spark-ignited (LSI) Engines, for Nissan’s full line of internal combustion forklifts. Nissan’s gasoline, LBG and diesel engines have been redesigned to incorporate technological advances for increased efficiency and performance, while reducing exhaust emissions well below regulatory requirements.

The engine control module controls the basic engine functions and determines the exact air/fuel ratio, torque and speed needed to meet the demands of the application, while delivering high combustion efficiency for lower fuel consumption and the lowest emission levels.
