COST OF OPERATION
A low overall cost of operation is one of the key benefits delivered to Hyster lift
truck customers, thanks to a number of contributing factors, including
innovative, tough products an understanding of specific applications
requirements, global distribution partnerships and specialist cooperation with
strategic supplier partners.
At the recent Hyster HUB Event in Germany in May, key Hyster suppliers
demonstrated how their products and expertise help to lower the cost of operation for
Hyster customers.
Cummins - Engines
Cummins designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas
engines and related technologies which feature in a number of Hyster products.
Collaboration between Cummins and Hyster has helped to lower the total cost of
ownership through increased power density using smaller engines, particularly in the
high capacity Big Trucks which has helped to significantly reduce fuel consumption.
Cummins has a broad power line-up providing Hyster with Tier 3 and Tier 4 engines
up to 370 hp (276 kW) which are suitable for a variety of material handling
applications while meeting stringent EU and EPA emissions regulations. Cummins
has a clear focus on near-zero emissions engines.
Shell - Oils and lubricants

Hyster end users including a joint Hyster–Shell oil program, which means; first fill of
