New Meaning to Environmental Responsibility 
Toyota's parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, has imparted an outstanding company principles towards environmental stewardship within Toyota. Toyota's rich history of environmental protection whilst retaining economic viability cannot be matched by other corporations and undoubtedly no other materials handling maker can so far rival Toyota. Environmental accountability is a key characteristic of corporate decision making at Toyota and they are proud to be the first and only producer to offer UL-listed, EPA - and CARB -certified Compressed Natural Gas powered lift trucks. Yet one more reason they remain a leader within the industry.
Toyota first released the 8-Series line of lift vehicles in 2006, again exhibiting its leadership and innovation in the industry. Featuring an exclusive emission system that eclipsed both Federal EPA emission principles, and California's more environmentally friendly emission standards. The finished invention is a lift truck that creates 70% less smog forming emissions than the present Federal standards allow. 
Also in 2006, Toyota developed a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, furthering their dedication to the environment. In excess of 57,000 trees have been planted in local parks and national forests damaged by environmental causes such as fires, as a result of this relationship. 10,500 seedlings have also been circulated through Toyota Industrial Equipment's system of dealers to non-profit organizations and neighborhood customers to help sustain communities all over the United States
Toyota's lift vehicles offer enhanced productivity, visibility, ergonomics and resilience, and most importantly, the industry's leading safety technology. The company's System of Active Stability, also referred to as "SAS", helps decrease the possibility of incidents and accidental injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the potential for product and equipment breakage.
System Active Stability is able to sense situations that could lead to lateral volatility and possible lateral overturn. When any of these conditions have been detected, the SAS will immediately engage the Swing Lock Cylinder to re-stabilize the rear axle. This alters the lift truck's stability footprint from triangular in shape to rectangular, providing a major increase in stability which substantially reduces the probability of an accident from a lateral overturn. The Active Mast Function Controller or the Active Control Rear Stabilizer also aids to prevent injuries or accidents while adding stability.
The SAS systems were initially used on the 7-Series internal combustion lift trucks which were put on the market in 1999. These systems helped thrust Toyota into the lead for industry safety standards. Now, SAS is used on almost every modern internal combustion products and is standard equipment for the new 8-Series. There are more than 100,000 SAS-equipped lift vehicles in action, exceeding 450 million hours combined. The increased population of SAS-equipped vehicles in the field, along with obligatory worker instruction, overturn fatalities across all brands have decreased by 13.6% since 1999.  Additionally, there has been an overall 35.5% decrease in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and tip overs from a lift vehicle for the same period.
Toyota's standard of brilliance reaches far beyond its technological achievements. The company maintains an extensive Operator Safety Training course to help users meet OSHA standard 1910.178. Education courses, videos and various resources, covering a wide scope of topics-from personal safety, to OSHA regulations, to surface and cargo situations, are accessible through the dealer network. 
Toyota has maintained a permanent existence in the United States ever since its first sale. In 2009, Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, produced its 350,000th lift truck. This fact is demonstrated by the statistic that 99% of Toyota lift trucks bought in America at the moment are manufactured in the United States.
