Design competition
Toyota Material Handling Europe (TMHE) has launched its first forklift design competition for European design students and 2013 graduates under the coordination of the multi awarded TMHE Design Center. The call for entries has started.
This year’s theme is ‘Tow Tractors: Industrial Machines in Need of a Makeover’.
To
fit into a modern intralogistics environment, the tow tractors need a
refresh: on top of being heavy-duty, robust, safe and reliable to carry
loads over long distances, and helping save time, energy and money, they
should equally be stylish.
”We want participants to be inventive, original and daring in their
creation of the tow tractor. We would like them to concentrate on the
aesthetic value, but also consider today’s material handling challenges
such as sustainability. The end product must reflect the Toyota heritage
and our core product values: Safety, Durability, Productivity,
Driveability and Simplicity,” says Magnus Oliveira Andersson, head of
design center at Toyota Material Handling Europe.
TMHE is offering up to 4000 Euros for the most original and innovative entry.
