Yanmar America Corp., a division of Yanmar Company Ltd., is pleased to
announce a partnership with The Toro Company to provide diesel engines for
select commercial turf maintenance equipment. The Yanmar diesel engines will
allow Toro to comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Tier 4
emissions regulations which go into effect January 1, 2013.
Yanmar will provide Toro with EPA compliant diesel engine models. The low
total lifecycle ownership cost of Yanmar's diesel engines along with
innovative technology and reduced environmental impact were deciding factors
in Toro's decision to form a partnership with Yanmar. The first Toro products
to feature Yanmar's Tier 4 compliant diesel engine technology will be select
commercial mowers over 25 horsepower.
Tier 4 is the strictest EPA emissions requirement for off-highway diesel
engines. The regulations set specific limits on the amount of pollutants,
specifically oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter that can be released
into the environment. The requirements are part of the federal Clean Air Act
to reduce air pollution because of its potential hazards to human health and
the environment. In May 2004, as part of its Clean Diesel Program, the EPA
finalized a comprehensive rule to reduce emissions from non-road diesel
engines. The rule consists of four tiers of emissions standards; Tier 4 is the
final stage.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for Yanmar to partner with a category leading
company like Toro. Both companies share a complete commitment to doing what's
best for the environment today and in the future," commented Ted Bregar,
President of Yanmar America.
